At Hot Topic, we believe music and the arts make everyone’s life a whole lot better, so we’ve decided to enrich kids’ lives by enabling them to express themselves musically and artistically!

The Hot Topic Foundation aims to support programs and organizations that specifically focus on encouraging and educating youth in music, creative writing, painting, photography, filmmaking and more. Besides, what kid wouldn’t want the chance to wail on a trombone, bang on some drums or paint a masterpiece?

If you'd like to make a donation, you can check out our Make A Donation Page, but what better way to contribute to such a worthy cause than with the merch pictured here?

This stuff is selling in stores and online, and 100% of the proceeds go directly to the Hot Topic Foundation. The picks and mints are available in two styles: Music = Life™ and Rock The Arts™. They're only a buck, too!

Also, feast your ears on two awesome CD/DVD compilations from Hopeless/Sub City Records. The new Change! compilation features music and videos from Chiodos, Alesana, Job for a Cowboy and many more. If ya haven't already, don't forget to add the Metal = Life II compilation to your music arsenal, featuring Avenged Sevenfold, As I Lay Dying, Between the Buried and Me and tons more. Proceeds from these releases go right to the Hot Topic Foundation. Help make a change while rockin' out to some of the hottest bands!
