New York metal club Saint Vitus asked for $15,000 in COVID-19 relief - raised $130,000

Independent Brooklyn metal club Saint Vitus started a COVID-19 relief on Kickstarter, raising 12 times more than they asked for, according to Rolling Stone. “Saint Vitus Stays Home: Help beloved Brooklyn venue & metal bar Saint Vitus survive the COVID-19 closure” campaign listed a slew of rewards for potential donors, ranging from $5 stickers and $30 limited-edition tees to $75 signed photos and $100 drum lessons with Thursday’s Tucker Rule; top donors could snag a year’s worth of free shows. The campaign’s goal was set at $15,000, but by the end of campaign on Saturday, June 6 Saint Vitus had raised over $130,000.
