EGL | Healthy Living Series: "Be the Match: You Could Save a Life One Day"
The next occurrence of this event:
Every 3-4 minutes, someone in the U.S. is diagnosed with a blood cancer. The good news is that anyone could help save a life by becoming a potential donor for patients battling blood cancers or diseases, and it all starts with a simple cheek swab.
Our "Be the Match: You Could Save a Life One Day" event is a chance to learn more about blood cancers and disorders, how to join the donor registry with a cheek swab kit, and what happens after you donate.
You will also learn what steps are taken if you are a match for a patient.
Doctors rely on donors in the 18-40 age range nearly 75% of the time, so if you or a family member fit that range, please consider attending our event.
No registration is required.
