Hey [Name]!
We’d like to introduce you to our charitable foundation, All Within My Hands.
We announced the formation of All Within My Hands in 2017. AWMH aims to assist and enrich the lives of members of the communities who have supported the band for years, as well as encourage participation from fans and friends. All funds raised are donated to a cross-section of national and local charities. We take pride in being able to cover all administrative costs so that every penny from your donations will go directly to our charity partners. |

THE FIGHT AGAINST HUNGER
Supporting local food banks while on tour is something Metallica has been doing quietly for years. The creation of the Foundation allowed the band to take this kind of giving to the next level. In addition to partnering with local food banks through Feeding America on the band’s home turf, AWMH is proud to work with World Central Kitchen to provide nutritious meals around the globe. | |

CRITICAL LOCAL SERVICES
From disaster relief to support for the most vulnerable members of society, AWMH knows that creating sustainable communities can only be accomplished when basic needs are met. The Foundation partners with organizations like Direct Relief and Team Rubicon in times of crises, as well as smaller organizations local to the disasters. | |

#METALLICAGIVESBACK ON TOUR
With the goal of reinvesting in communities that have given Metallica so much, a portion of ticket sales at every tour stop gets donated back to local organizations within each respective community. Recipients of these donations are primarily food banks or local shelters and support organizations that provide critical local services. |
