The Sub City Take Action Tour presented by Hot Topic kicked off last week in Atlanta, Georgia, with a lineup of bands including We The Kings, Mayday Parade, A Rocket To The Moon, There For Tomorrow, Call The Cops, and Stereo Skyline. The annual event is teaming up with Do Something’s 2008 Awards winner Patrick Pedaja and his charity Driving for Donors, which raises funds and awareness about registering to be a marrow donor. The bands will participate in signings and appearances at select Hot Topic stores to further help spread the word about the cause.

Patrick, now 14, was diagnosed with leukemia at age 10. He and his family started Driving for Donors in 2007 and since then, they have helped add over 22,000 donors to the National Marrow Donor Program Registry! Hear more about Patrick’s inspirational story here:

Take action today. Fans can help at every show by either signing up for The National Marrow Registry or texting “Action” to 85944 to donate directly from their cell phones. 10% of each ticket sale also makes a donation to the charity. Find out when the tour will be coming to a location near you!
