MUSIC SAVES LIVES ANNOUNCES THAT IT WILL BE
REGISTERING FOR THE MARROW PROGRAM AT THE ORANGE COUNTY KROQ EPICENTER FESTIVAL
Irvine California Saturday September 24th, MUSIC
SAVES LIVES will be reaching out to thousands of festival attendees in hope
that they take 15 minutes to register to save those with leukemia and other
blood disorders. On hand, as the
official marrow list coordinators, DKMS Americas will assist in all
registrations and place each committed registrar on the world bone marrow
matching list. Music Saves Lives
has partnered with DKMS over several years due to it’s national presents. DKMS is a world leader in marrow
registrations and has a commitment to Free Registration, taking only donations
and never insisting on any fees.
Over the last 6 years Music Saves Lives has devoted its time
to educate youth about advances in the marrow surgical transplant
procedures. If you’re a
match to someone that is waiting to find that life saving transplant, as many
as 85% of the time the donor procedure is as easy as a blood donation. The recipient of the transplant still
goes through a rigorous fight, but new surgical techniques are making headway
every day. 6 out of every 10
patients diagnosed needing a transplant will never get one and Music Saves
Lives has committed its time and staff to reaching the “Y” generation and
encouraging them to save lives.
In the past, Music Saves Lives has focused its main efforts
on blood donation and marrow registration, reaching out by sharing facts and
educating at music tours nationwide. MSL began in 2006 and has reach out to more than 2
million youth blood donors and registered over 20,000 for the marrow program
saving as many as 14 people with leukemia.
This is the second year Music Saves Lives has been part of
Epicenter Festival invited and supported by Monster Energy Drink. Monster Energy has supported Music
Saves Lives for over 6 years at its efforts in saving lives.
