Get ready to experience the power of rock music in a whole new way. DKMS, the international non-profit organization dedicated to fighting blood cancer and other blood disorders, is teaming up with The FanLab, the production company behind the upcoming Guns N’ Roses concert in Chile, to launch a groundbreaking donor recruitment drive.
During the highly anticipated show at the Parque Estadio Nacional, attendees will have the opportunity to learn about becoming a bone marrow donor and register with the DKMS global donor registry. This unique alliance aims to transform the passion of Guns N’ Roses fans into an act of solidarity that could save thousands of lives around the world.
Registering to Save a Life
Signing up as a donor doesn’t mean you have to donate immediately. It simply adds your name to the DKMS international database, making you available in case a patient in need of a stem cell transplant requires your help. In Chile and globally, thousands of people with blood cancer depend on finding a compatible donor to survive. However, the odds of finding a match outside of one’s immediate family are daunting – only 1 in 1,000 registered donors is typically a suitable match for a patient.
Bringing the Power of Rock to Life
To make the donor registration process engaging and interactive, DKMS and The FanLab have planned a special activation area at the concert. Students and teachers from the School of Rock will take the stage to perform classic rock anthems, inviting both young and old to get involved with the music. Attendees will also learn about the School of Rock’s programs, which aim to nurture the next generation of musicians in a creative and collaborative environment.
A Lifesaving Partnership
«With this initiative, DKMS and The FanLab are betting that the passion of fans can be transformed into a solidarity act capable of making a difference in the lives of thousands of patients around the world,» the organizations stated in a joint announcement.
DKMS, founded in Germany in 1991, has grown to become a global force in the fight against blood cancer. With more than 13 million registered donors and over 125,000 donations facilitated, the foundation is committed to providing a second chance at life for those diagnosed with blood-related diseases.
So, as you rock out to the iconic tunes of Guns N’ Roses, remember that you have the power to become a lifesaver. Register with DKMS and join the fight against blood cancer – because the true power of music lies in its ability to transform lives.
