Deftones have raised over $100,000 with their Adopt-A-Dot fundraiser. The fundraiser started after the band asked their fans to “adopt” one of the 12, 995 dots that make up the artwork to their new album 'OHMS.' As a result of the fundraiser, the band made a donation of $52,500 to UC Davis Children's Hospital and a separate $52,000 donation to Crew Nation — a global relief fund for live music crews who have been impacted by COVID-19.
The group said in a statement, “With pride, today we're making our Adopt-A-Dot donations to UC Davis Children's Hospital and Crew Nation. Hopefully these will go to making things a little easier for those facing challenging times.”
They added,”This wouldn't have been possible without the support of our fans and friends that contributed to this campaign. We sincerely thank you all.”
