Beverly Hills, CA, May 21, 2015 --(PR.com)-- In one hour’s time, a person can donate one unit of blood that can be separated into four individual components that could help save multiple lives.[i]
In an effort to raise awareness about blood donation and encourage young adults to become repeat blood donors, Music Saves Lives® is announcing its tenth year partnering with the Vans Warped Tour and joining forces with blood centers all over the US. Music Saves Lives partners with musicians and entertainers to encourage young adults to participate in community blood drives and then thanks donors by giving them special access to music and entertainment.
Friday, May 22 2015, The Gibson Showroom in Beverly Hills hosts the 10th Annual Music Saves Lives Kick Off Party. This Friday luncheon serves up more than just great food from Wahoo’s and Hint Water; they will offer a way to donate blood with the City Of Hope on-site at 11 am. Register at this site: Entertainment includes special guest band 20 Eyes, artists and staff from the Vans Warped Tour and a time to reflect on the thousands of lives saved over the last 9 years with Music Saves Lives. The 12 pm Luncheon Red Carpet offers a chance to take off early for the long Memorial Day weekend and serve the community by donating blood. Each blood donation will receive MSL VIP at any Vans Warped Tour. Everyone that downloads the Music Saves Lives smart phone app will be able to sign up for the national marrow program with the possibility of saving someone with leukemia.
This special program designed by founder and director of Music Saves Lives, Russel Hornbeek, offers a summer program to help raises and maintain the fragile summer blood supply. Thousands of units of blood are collected during the school year from college and high schools and when summer rolls around the students are looking to music as the top entertainment during their off time. Youth will then donate blood to be able to meet a favorite band or get backstage at festivals and concerts during the summer months.
Music Saves Lives started a commitment membership club in 2014, encouraging young adults to consider becoming life-long donors through the Very Important Donor (VID) Club program. Now a year later and over 4000 committed young donors, Music Saves Lives has engaged these young students with the music they love and directing them to save lives in the communities they live in.
