Be the Match Bone Marrow registry

KUDOS  Sea Aggies!!  

Once again the Sea Aggie generosity prevailed,
the “Be the Match” Bone Marrow registry surpassed our expectation.
We were expecting approximately 40 to register;  but we doubled that. 

Way to go Sea Aggies, we couldn't have done it without you!

Subject: Bone Marrow "Be the Match" Registry Drive on Wednesday May 2nd, 10:30am - 2:30pm [all]

 Howdy,

The Staff Advisory Committee is helping to organize a drive to register to be a match for potential bone marrow transplant patients.     Thousands of patients with blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma, sickle cell and other life-threatening diseases depend on the Be the Match Registry to find a match to save their life.

 Patients need donors who are a genetic match.  Even with a registry of millions, many patients cannot find a match.  Donors with diverse racial or ethnic backgrounds are especially needed.

  The staff advisory committee along with the Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center will host the drive in the Seibel building lobby on Wednesday May 2nd, from 10:30am until 2:30pm. Volunteers are needed to help staff the drive. Training will be provided the morning of the drive (Wed, May 2nd) from 9-10 am. We need a minimum of 10 volunteers.   Volunteers will be provided with community service hours for donating their time."

Come out and register, and help save a life.
