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.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

October 5, 2010,

The Nation’s Number One Alternative Band, Neon Trees, Heads to Las Vegas to Support a Blood Thirsty Cause

The Neon Trees are currently climbing all the charts with their hit single "Animal" and sweeping all video channels with an unforgettable music video.  Many people are unaware that the rising band has passion to help.  Over the last 2 years, they have supported Music Saves Lives and their efforts in the national marrow registration and blood donations. Their support has helped generate hundreds of marrow registrations and encouraged youth to get out and donate blood to save lives.  After touring with the Killers, and 30 Seconds to Mars, Neon Trees are gearing up to release another single that is anticipated to do even better than the first. 

Wednesday, October 27th Music Saves Lives will benefit from a very special exclusive concert.  Beatles Revolution Lounge will be the intimate venue located inside the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas.  Picture Healing, a company that supports many non-profits through a photo-posting website, presents the Neon Trees and other special guests all to benefit Music Saves Lives.

Music Saves Lives® is the bridge between music, entertainment and important life-saving causes. Music Saves Lives brings a simple concept; connect the music and entertainment, we all love, to a life saving community action.  MSL has focused efforts on blood donation and the bone marrow registry, reaching out by sharing facts, educating, and empowering. As a recognized 501(c)3 organization we have grown from our home base in Southern California to having a worldwide presence.   The MSL motto, Saving Lives Has Never Sounded So Good™, echoes our life saving mission. Music Saves Lives has encouraged over 1 million young people to donate blood during the last 5 years. Music Saves Lives has been honored, five years in a row, by the American Red Cross for organizing the nations best youth donor program each year.
