Take Action Tour: At it again!

By now, you’ve heard of the Take Action Tour. Sub City is pleased to announce that the highly anticipated Take Action Volume 9 charity compilation is now available and includes exclusive songs, acoustics, and remix tracks from We The Kings, Mayday Parade, 30H!3, Cobra Starship, Taking Back Sunday, There For Tomorrow, Frank Turner, The Friday Night Boys, Anarbor, and Hit The Lights, among others.

The best part of it is that the concerts are for charity! Sub City has raised millions of dollars and awareness for various charitable organizations, including DoSomething.org, that aim to make the world a better place and 5% of the suggested retail price for each Take Action Volume 9 set sold will be donated to further a new cause for 2010.

The charity spotlighted for Take Action in 2010 is Driving For Donors, the brainchild of 2008 Do Something Awards nominee, Patrick Pedraja, 14, who was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia at age 10. In 2007, at age 11, Patrick and his family started Driving For Donors and traveled around the country in a special “Donormobile” with the mission of signing people up for the National Marrow Registry to help find bone marrow matches for people in need of a transplant. Since then they have added over 22,000 donors to the registry and saved more than 24 people’s lives with matches.

Since the tour start on January 25, $18,000 has been raised and 300 have signed up for the National Marrow Registry! And the tour’s just getting started!

10% of the cost of each ticket sold is donated to further Patrick's mission making each person attending the Take Action Tour an active participant in making the world a better place.

You interested in finding out more about the bone marrow registry? Registration is simple and only requires the donor:

  • be between the ages of 18 and 61,
  • have a desire to help save a life, and
  • have time for a quick cheek swab and simple paperwork.

Registering is much easier than most people think and information about the entire process can be found at BeTheMatch.org.

Under 18? No worries. There are plenty of ways for you to support the cause. Lean more at drivingfordonors.com.
