The purpose of the event, which is free and open to the public, is to raise awareness about cancer prevention and treatment and the harmful effects of tobacco use.

The AfroFlow Tour is a major component of the American Cancer Society's (ACS) initiative to engage colleges and communities in addressing alarming cancer rates, while counteracting the disproportionate tobacco advertising aimed at young audiences.

The AfroFlow Tour is also supported by urban clothier Pelle Pelle and FUZE Beverages.

AfroFlow, meaning flowing from Africa, recognizes Hip-hop's indigenous roots and inspirational messages.

The show features rap and spoken word recording artist, MIKE-E, along with soulful vocalist Kenny Watson, the world-traveled DJ Invisible, and dynamic African percussionist Sowandé Keita.

The group entertains audiences and conveys important health related messages.

The American Cancer Society is the nationwide community-based voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem by preventing cancer, saving lives and diminishing suffering from cancer through research, education, advocacy and service.
