Bone Marrow Donor Registration Drive

As part of our community service efforts this quarter, Crown College, College Nine and College Ten are partnering with DKMS (www.getswabbed.org) to add people to the National Marrow Donor Program® (NMDP) Registry.

Students, staff, faculty and members of the public are invited to register as potential bone marrow donors. The testing process is extremely simple - swabbing the inside of the cheek with a q-tip. If a registrant is identified as a potential match he or she can still choose not to be a donor. Donating is generally as simple as giving blood.

It will be held Friday, January 20th , 2012  from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the Namaste Lounge at College Nine & Red Room at College Eight. Stop by and maybe save a life.

Registering is free, but donations for the DKMS bone marrow donor center will be accepted.
