Bone marrow registry event needs participants

By Kim Margolis | Wednesday, April 22, 2009, 06:56 PM

A recruitment drive to encourage people to join a bone marrow donor registry and perhaps find a match for a two-year-old Springboro boy will be held Saturday, April 25 in Beavercreek.

The drive will take place from noon to 4 p.m at Beavercreek Family Care, 2510 Commons Blvd. #220.

After a cheek swab is taken the potential donor’s information will be added to the Be The Match Registry.

The National Marrow Donor Program operates the Be The Registry and partners with a global network of leading hospitals, blood centers, cord blood banks, laboratories and recruiters.

It facilitates transplant worldwide, conducts research to improve survival and quality of life, and provides education to health care professionals and patients. Since 1987, it has provided more than 35,000 transplants.

For more information, visit www.BeTheMatch.org or call 1 (800) MARROW - 2.
