This past Tuesday, two-division world champion Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero and his wife Casey joined the “City of Hope” as they hosted a red carpet event at Club Nokia in Los Angeles. The event showcased the premiere of ‘Unete con la Gota de la Vida’ (Join The Drop of Life), a song put together by the who’s who of music talent from the U.S., Latin America and Spain.
“This historic premiere marks a nationwide effort to reach out to the Latino community and encourage their participation in the national bone marrow registry to help save lives,” said Salvador Trevino, CEO of Santa Fe Communications. “City of Hope is grateful for the support from Universal Music and BMI Publishing, event sponsors and the talented Latino music artists for their commitment to the fight against cancer.”
“We’re excited for the opportunity to help build awareness and support for Latino patients in need of bone marrow matches,” said Scott Loyola, associate vice president, City of Hope. “Our hope is to be able to save more lives by quickly finding a match so that patients at City of Hope can receive life-saving transplants.”
Casey Guerrero, whose life was saved from a bone marrow transplantation, stated, “I’m very thankful that I was invited to this event. I’m living proof that bone marrow transplants work and save lives. If my story can help bring more awareness to the Latino community about joining the registry, then I’m going to do all I can to help.”
“Together we can all help save lives by joining the bone marrow registry,” said Robert Guerrero. “A cotton swab in the mouth is all that is needed to get started. I just want to let everyone know that today’s technology has made this procedure very simple.”
