Donors to Have Access to Exclusive Meet and Greets with Monster Energy Bands as Music Saves Lives Helps Offset Slow Blood Donation Season

(Los Angeles, CA – June 22, 2011) – Music Saves Lives, a recognized 501 (c)(3) organization that is the bridge between music, entertainment and important life-saving causes,   will hit the road on all 54 dates of the Vans Warped Tour educating and thanking blood donors across the US and Canada beginning June 24th in Dallas, TX.  This marks the 6th year Music Saves Lives has taken its crusade to the concert sheds of the Vans Warped Tour, all the while receiving distinguished awards from the American Red Cross for the largest youth blood donation program ever in the US, five years running. 

Because over 25% of the nation’s blood supply is donated by High Schools and Colleges, summer month blood supplies are severely affected and this year Music Saves Lives hopes to reach over 100,000 blood donations.  Music Saves Lives reaches out and educates concert goers on the importance of blood donations, providing encouragement to run and participate in blood drives in their community.   

The ultimate reward in donating blood is the realization that a single donation can save up to 3 lives, but giving has its perks too! Music Saves Lives offers ‘meet & greets’ with bands out on the Vans Warped Tour, through a partnership with Monster Energy to make that all happen.  Many Monster Energy bands, such as Of Mice and Men, will take part in meeting thousands of blood donors attending each tour date.  Additionally, by texting “Monster” to 411247 fans will have access to exclusive video and music from Monster Energy andMusic Saves Lives.
