Third Annual Bone Marrow Registry

Posted in Special Ceremonies/Events with tags , , , , , , on April 7, 2011 by sturgi46

The Rowan University football team will hold its third annual “Get In The Game. Save A Life. Be The Match Registry” on Tuesday, April 26th from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in the Chamberlain Student Center Pit. All are welcomed and encouraged to participate!

The process is simple and will take about 15 minutes. No blood or needles will be used for the test. You only have to submit to a simple cheek swab. At that point, you are a member of the Be The Match Registry and will be contacted by the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) if you are a match.

Rowan Prof’s enrolled a total of 299 people last year, and are expecting to register over 300 this year. Please come out and support because you may be able to save the life of a struggling leukemia or lymphoma patient one day!
