In the music scene, there are plenty of people working to do good and help others. Each summer, an array of nonprofits travel the country on Warped Tour to promote their cause and raise awareness and donations, and musicians like Andrew McMahon, X Ambassadors, and plenty others work with nonprofits on tours of their own.

But it’s not just the scene’s biggest names that are working hard to make a difference. After the passing of the organizer’s neighbor, Sue Marchetti, in the winter of 2014 to pancreatic cancer, Susiepalooza was started in July 2015 to benefit The Lustgarten Foundation for pancreatic cancer research. The Lustgarten Foundation is local to Long Island, and donates all proceeds directly to pancreatic cancer research. To date, the Susiepalooza events have raised over $23,000 for The Lustgarten Foundation. Past performers have included Grayscale, Stories Untold (Razor and Tie Records), and Chase Huglin (InVogue Records), as well as several local and regional acts. This year’s event will take place on August 11, and while the lineup has yet to be announced, it’s looking to be the biggest and best yet.

In advance of the fourth annual Susiepalooza, the event organizers are releasing their third annual compilation (previous compilations can be heard here). The Great Big Susiepalooza Comp: Volume 3 features 100 songs for only $5, which can be listened to here. Proceeds from the compilation album will benefit the annual summer show and The Lustgarten Foundation themselves. This time, they’ve teamed up with Hopeless Records to present and sponsor the compilation, in honor of Adam Fox, a close friend of the label who lost his battle with pancreatic cancer last year. The event organizers had reached out to Hopeless about having their artists’ music included on the compilation, but the label was eager to take a larger role in helping to promote the compilation and have their name on it in Fox’s honor. Hopeless Records president Louis Posen says, “Adam Fox was a great friend to Hopeless/Sub City and deeply passionate about music. His memory and love of music live on and continue to make a difference through this awesome comp and show. We are honored to be a part of it.”
