When they say non-profit, they mean it. Kollaboration, positioned as an organization that aims to depict Asian/Pacific Islander Americans as accuraely as possible, is not just for show. On Saturday, in their return to the Pasadena Civic Auditorium, they also aim to beat a record they have set in years past.

In 2006, in the same venue, Kollaboration set an all-time record for bone marrow donor registration, by registering 140 donors for the "Be the Match" campaign. This year, in this upcoming weekend, they aim to beat that number. Asian Americans have had historically low donor registration rates for bone marrow, thus, this campaign from Kollaboration goes a long way. Saturday's bone marrow donor registration campaign is actually targeting to save a life in the Pasadena community. Pasadena local Sofia Flores, a toddler of nearly two years, is currently battling an aggressive form of leukemia, and Saturday night's drive is an attempt to find a match for her. Potential donors can find out more by visiting the Kollaboration Terrace prior to the event.

The Kollaboration Terrace will be where things happen early. Guests are encouraged to come at 4 PM to participate in festivities, with booths, food trucks and a full bar! The Bun Truck, Seoul Sausage Company, and Bool BBQ will all be parking to fill attendee tummies.

There will also be a Red Carpet where fans can see their favorite celebrities, in commemoration of Asian American entertainment, prior to the show.  It definitely is shaping up to be an event not to miss!
