Sadly 11-year-old leukemia patient, and Lion King star Shannon Tavarez still hasn't found a bone marrow match & time is running short. 50 Cent is stepping up to the plate to offer more help.

As a direct result of 50 Cent's efforts last week DKMS registered over 3,600 potentially life-saving donors for Shannon or other leukemia patients like her.

But he still wanted to do more so this Sunday 50 Cent, the G-Unity Foundation & DKMS will host a bone marrow drive at the Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson Community Garden in Queens.

Since 50 Cent's PSA went LIVE on www.GetSwabbed.org and ThisIs50.com it instantly became a viral phenomenon--receiving more than two hundred thousand hits. As a result, over 3,600 people have registered with DKMS to save the life of Shannon Tavarez or others like her. Now as part of his ongoing philanthropic efforts, 50 Cent and the G-Unity Foundation along with DKMS, will hold a bone marrow drive at the Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson Community Garden on Sunday August 15th.
