What: Swindle magazine art director Justin Van Hoy has had Leukemia relapse, Justin is currently searching for a bone marrow donor match, which he desperately needs to survive.

YOU CAN HELP!

Please come out to get the simple “mouth swab” test and find out if you have the rare ability to save the life of this incredibly talented artist and beloved friend.

Who: Thanks to DKMS Americas, the testing fee will be optional, but donations are requested and welcomed. We’ll have SWINDLE Swag, a silent art auction to help offset testing fees, DJ’s, and good company.

BONUS!!!  Art Legend, Winston Smith has graciously donated an original piece of his art to help with the fees of testing procedures, so if you’re not in New York, you can still help Justin and get a piece of art history while you’re at it…
