90902M6_BARKER_B-GR_01Blink 182 have pledged to donate $100,000 to the burn hospitals that cared for and treated Travis Barker after surviving a plane crash last year.

After the accident, Barker was left with second and third-degree burns. He was treated at the Joseph M. Still Burn Center in Georgia and the Grossman Burn Center in California by donating the proceeds from the band’s show on Saturday in Phoenix, Arizona.

The band released a statement saying that the donation is “being made in recognition of their tremendous care and aid of Travis Barker through his recovery from the 2008 plane crash.”

Barker and friend Adam Goldstein were the lone survivors of the crash, which claimed four lives. Goldstein, also known as DJ AM, passed away last month from a drug overdose. RIP.
