The Oral Cancer Foundation has a new relationship with two powerful entities, the band Coldplay and CharityBuzz. The band has generously offered to allow CharityBuzz to auction three great events at their largest concerts on the band's American tour, raising funds for the oral cancer issue via OCF in the process. At the events, the auction winners will have a chance to meet the band, be part of a one of a kind backstage experience, and then watch the concert from the band's personal reserved seats for family and friends in the best of locations (Chicago, LA or NY).

The band has won 62 awards from 209 nominations throughout their career, including nine Brit Awards—winning Best British Group four times—five MTV Video Music Awards and seven Grammy Awards from 31 nominations. Coldplay have sold more than 80 million records worldwide, making them one of the world's best-selling musical artists. They also have a long history of charity efforts supporting many worthy causes; clearly they are not just musicians but a band with a strong social consciousness. OCF is grateful to be included as an organization worthy of this kind of support from them. Their current tour which has worked its way around the world (http://timeline.coldplay.com/a-head-full-of-dreams-tour-map/) is soon to arrive in America, where these concerts with auctions benefiting OCF will take place.
