Every year, 18,000 patients are diagnosed with life-threatening blood cancers or other blood disorders that could be cured or treated with a blood stem cell transplant. 70% don’t have a fully matched donor in their family.

In partnership with NMDP, the National Marrow Donor Program, Phi Theta Kappa is hosting a blood stem cell and bone marrow donor registry drive this week. Just a simple cheek swab can add someone to the national registry and potentially save a life!

Potential donors should be:

• Between the ages of 18 and 40
• A resident of the United States or one of its territories or freely associated states
• Able to meet medical guidelines, which will be determined through a brief, private survey

The drive will be held in A. Lincoln Commons Monday-Wednesday, Sept. 30-Oct. 2, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Please encourage your students to register or register yourself. The process takes only about 10 minutes.
