At Love Hope Strength Foundation, our mission is to save lives, one concert at a time. We believe that all people deserve quality cancer care, a marrow donor, if needed and most importantly, HOPE.
Founded by cancer survivors, LHS leverages the power of music to expand the marrow registry through our "Get On The List" campaign registering music lovers all across the nation to become marrow donors helping to save lives of those suffering from blood borne illness such as Leukemia, Lymphoma or Sickle Cell Anemia.
At Love Hope Strength, we believe in offering real hope to people currently living with cancer!
We will be hosting a GET ON THE LIST marrow drive at this event.More opportunities with Love Hope Strength Foundation

About Love Hope Strength Foundation
Location:

Mission Statement
At Love Hope Strength we turn concerts into lifesaving events. Through our GET ON THE LIST campaign we register marrow donors resulting in matches from concerts around the world. Through unique events, like Everest Rocks and Kilimanjaro Rocks, we build cancer centers, giving people access to early detection and quality cancer care.
Description
LHS was founded in 2007 by leukemia survivors Mike Peters (of the Welsh rock band The Alarm) and James Chippendale (president of Ascend Insurance Brokerage). As the world’s leading rock-and-roll cancer foundation, LHS primarily raises its funds through musical pilgrimages to majestic sites like Mt. Everest, Mt. Fuji and Machu Picchu.
Rather than funding cancer research, LHS focuses on building and supporting cancer centers around the world, boosting awareness of global cancer needs, and expanding international bone marrow databases. One of LHS’s many accomplishments include purchasing Nepal’s first mammography and internal radiation machines and funding the construction of the first children’s cancer center in Tanzania.
Through our partnership with Delete Blood Cancer, LHS frequently spearheads bone marrow drives at concerts and major musical events like Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo and Austin City Limits. LHS has added close to 100,000 people to the national marrow database and found close to 1500 of matches for patients in need of bone marrow transplants. Headquartered in Denver, LHS now has chapters in the United Kingdom, Mexico and Australia.
