Excision Creates A Brilliant Way To Raise Money For A Women’s Shelter

As both Bass Canyon and Lost Lands draw ever closer, Excision has created a unique way to give some lucky fans a once in a lifetime opportunity as well as raise money for a Women’s Shelter.
The giveaway includes:
“2 VIP Tickets + Camping + Flights ($2,200 Value) & PRICELESS EXPERIENCES WITH: EXCISION, NGHTMARE, SLANDER AND MORE”
In order to enter the contest fans must do one simple little act of kindness – donate to a women’s shelter. The Woodland Center for New Beginnings helps victims of abuse get a fresh start on life. It is truly a mission that is needed in this day and age. A $25 donation will give participants 5 entries into the drawing, while $75 gives fans 20 entries.
So are you looking to help out a good cause as well as getting a chance to live out a true headbanger dream? Head over to the contest page here, and review The Woodlands Center For New Beginnings here.
Who The Money Actually Helps
The Woodlands Centre for New Beginnings is a real emergency shelter based in Newark, Ohio that provides services for victims of domestic violence, so this wasn’t just a marketing tie-in with a vague cause attached – it’s a specific, local organization doing hands-on work. Excision built the whole thing out as “The Lost Experience,” structured around two separate prize packages, each with its own meet-and-greet lineup that included artists like NGHTMRE, Slander, and Flux Pavilion on top of Excision himself.
The prizing itself went well beyond just festival tickets too. Winners were set up with an artist BBQ, golf cart tours backstage, round-trip flights for two, VIP passes and camping for Lost Lands, plus a year of EverFest Premium. Every dollar that came in through the entry donations, whether someone kicked in $25 or went all in at $75 for the bigger entry count, went straight to The Woodlands.
Why This Kind Of Effort Matters
It’s easy for festival giveaways to feel like empty gestures, but tying the entry mechanism directly to a real donation, rather than just slapping a charity logo on a raffle, is what made this one stand out. Bass music festivals draw massive, passionate crowds, and Excision used that built-in audience to funnel real dollars toward a shelter that needed it – turning a fun contest into something that actually helped people rebuilding their lives after abuse.
