In an effort to promote bone marrow transplants, the Love Hope Strength Foundation (LHS) is sponsoring a concert tour to 15 college campuses. Crocs Next Step Campus Tour will be arriving at RIT on Saturday, September 20, featuring headliners Yung Joc and Cartel.

A bone marrow transplant is a vital process used to treat leukemia and other diseases. It requires living donors to complete the procedure. According to an LHS press release, the tour provides a medium for Pat Predraja, a 12-year-old volunteer and leukemia patient, to attempt to set a world record for the most marrow donor registrations at a musical event.

According to his blog, Predraja was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in 2006 and became the poster child for a national campaign to add 10,000 new donors to the National Marrow Registry. The campaign, called Driving for Donors, cited that in order to be added to the registry, tissue typing must be done at a cost of $52.

RIT marks the twelfth stop of the tour. The concert will take place in Clark Gymnasium at 8 p.m., with tickets starting at $10 for students. Driving for Donors will have a booth at the concert where interested students can sign up to be marrow donors.
