Open to Students, Staff and Community Members

On any given day, more than 6,000 men, women and children of all races and ethnicities are searching the National Bone Marrow Donor Registry for a life-saving donor like you. These patients have leukemia, lymphoma, and other life-threatening diseases that can be treated by a bone marrow or cord blood transplant. The registry process takes 10 minutes, a cheek swab and your consent, nothing invasive about joining the registry! Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity is committed to increasing minority participation in the national registry.

This Bone Marrow drive is made possible in part from a donation made in memory of Sara Yakovac, ’00 who died April 17, 2001 at the age of 22, one year after her diagnosis of Leukemia.

Sponsored by Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc, and the UHC Student Wellness and Outreach. Questions call 568-2831 or Brandon Brown at brown2bd@jmu.edu
