The summer of 2010 is the fifth summer Music Saves Lives has been supported by the Vans Warped Tour to educate and encourage blood donation.  This program has generated over 100,000 blood donations this summer and over 1 million in the past 5 years and it is the largest youth blood donation program in US history.  These caring bands have all been active in giving back every chance they have and this Unite the United special Holiday eBay Auction will raise the needed funds to carry on the vital work that Music Saves Lives does every day.
