At Buckcherry's special intimate show at the Fillmore NY at Irving Plaza recently, the band presented a check in the amount of $10,000 to Childhelp, a leading national non-profit organization dedicated to helping victims of child abuse. The chart-topping, Grammy-nominated band launched the "Rescue Me Campaign" in April as part of the National Observance of Child Abuse Awareness and Prevention Month.

Buckcherry frontman Josh Todd, who blew us off for an interview, was originally inspired to become involved with Childhelp when he read A Child Called It, the renowned tale of abuse and neglect by Dave Pelzer, when it was assigned as homework to his daughter. Unable to shake the feelings the book conjured in him, Todd and guitarist Keith Nelson wrote, "A Child Called It" and "Rescue Me" for the band's album Black Butterfly.

Usually I lamblast Buckcherry for their fans, their music, and other things. But I would be an absolute insensitive prick if I did during a child abuse post. So you win today Buckcherry.
