API Week: Bone Marrow Drive
2/3/2012 | All Day
In front of 1001

If you’re around campus on Friday, come find us tabling for the Bone Marrow Drive. Every year, thousands like Jane Liang, a UCLA grad student, are diagnosed with leukemia and other life-threatening diseases. Many of them will die unless they get a bone marrow or cord blood transplant from a matching donor- which are rare especially within the API community. Absolutely no donation is required from you- just a simple, painless swab to check for compatibility.
