            <dateline type="date">2011-10-05</dateline>
            <lead>This year Living The Dream Foundation joined us on Warped Tour, Mayhem Festival, and Country Throwdown to take children who have terminal diseases out for a VIP day. They totally got the rockstar treatment!

Their day included the chance to go on-stage and backstage for all their favorite bands, eat lunch and dinner with them, and be where the action is all day long. It was an unforgettable summer for all who were involved.
