The minds behind Miami’s\u00a0III Points<\/a> are hoping to save even more lives in 2025.<\/p>\n

Between the music, comedy and easter egg hunts at\u00a0this weekend’s\u00a0III Joints event\u2014III Points’ one-day offshoot to celebrate cannabis culture\u2014there will be a\u00a0bone marrow donor registration drive. The beloved festival brand shared an informational post on social media explaining their public health initiative.<\/p>\n

While the donation process involves a surgical procedure, the requirement to be added to the donation is a harmless cheek swab. The information gathered is then added to a database where donors can be matched with those in need of a life-saving bone marrow donation.\u00a0Gift of Life<\/a>\u00a0collected 200 registrations at III Points and III Joints last year, and two of those attendees went through with the procedure to save two lives.<\/p>\n

The cause is close to organizers’ hearts. After being diagnosed with cancer in high school and spending five months in isolation at a Durham children\u2019s hospital, III Points founder David Sinopoli recovered thanks to a bone marrow transplant from his brother. He later rose through South Florida\u2019s nightlife scene and ultimately co-founded III Points in 2013.<\/p>\n

III Joints Festival will take over Factory Town in Miami on April 19th, 2025. You can learn more\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
