Love Hope Strength – Saving Lives, One Concert at a Time
Love Hope Strength is the world’s leading rock and roll cancer foundation. Its mission is to encourage as many people as possible to sign up for the International Bone Marrow Registry, where their valuable non-invasive donation can help save the lives of cancer victims around the world.
During each Outlaw Music Festival stop, fans will have the chance to visit the Love Hope Strength tent and “Get On The List” by performing a simple cheek swab, taking the foundation’s concept of “saving lives, one concert at a time” to a whole new level.
Since 2007, Love Hope Strength has been able to add well over 150,000 individuals to the International Bone Marrow Registry, making over 3,100 potentially life-saving matches from concerts & festivals. Since 2015, 365 people have registered and 2 potentially life-saving matches have been made at Blackbird Presents events!
By becoming a donor for people with Leukemia and other diseases, you can help those who would otherwise be denied the chance of life. At their pavilion at the Outlaw Music Festival, Love Hope Strength will raise awareness about the new non-invasive, less painful techniques that enable donors to give without having their own lives interrupted or disturbed. Participants stay on the registry until they’re 62, making their simple act of kindness at a concert a lasting contribution.
