Punk Rock Saves Lives has been a part of our community for a while now and through their Health and Wellness and Bone Marrow Transplant programs have probably saved numerous lives. Part of their success centers around being embedded into the scene as much as possible, literal boots on the ground! Odds are, if you’ve been to any larger shows or Fests over the past few years, you’ve seen one of their booths or tables swabbing for possible marrow donors, offering free earplugs to us forgetful types or educating people on how to use Narcan.
That level of omni-presence is not possible without their incredibly hardworking van which has logged mucho miles. A van which broke down pretty badly about a month ago on the way back from a long, nationwide tour. In an effort to get the van back in operating condition, the non-profit has set up an online campaign to help raise funds for the repair bill. If you’re in a position to donate, please take a few minutes to check out their campaign website, here. Let’s find a way to keep these awesome people mobile enough to keep doing equally awesome things for our community. We’re all we have!
