DrumsForCures produces the annual cancer health resource event, drumSTRONG™, raising awareness, funds for cancer education and research, and supporting survivorship :: through rhythm.

Music truly engages all ages, wages and stages of health... We’re not another walk, run or golf tournament simply raising $.

We gather folks to rhythm (and drum for crazy long periods of time), focusing on individual and community health.

drumSTRONG is a multicultural, musical, charity event showcasing available regional and national resources that support people with cancer and those who love them.
Celebrity artists join in; drumming non-stop for 24 + hours. BEATing cancer! It’s the planet's longest continuous rhythm DRUM-A-THON.

We webcast so that others (globally and kids in hospitals) can play with us. Cities across the planet drum with us to BEAT cancer. Guinness World Records is tracking us.

All funds raised are donated to local and national cancer organizations.

DrumsForCures is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that prides itself on being a hub of disbursement for cancer health information and resources.

drumSTRONG 2010 is May 15th & 16th.

Join us. The vibe is high. We’re making a sound impression on the health complexion of our communities.
