Donor Match Drive Held At PHS On December 14
A donor match drive to help battle life-threatening blood cancers will be held on Thursday, Dec. 14, 2:00 to 6:00 p.m. at Pennsauken High School, 800 Hylton Rd. Match donors are identified through a simple cheek swab procedure. Statistics indicate that a majority of individuals suffering from blood cancer do not have a blood or bone marrow match with a family member and therefore require a non-family member to donate. The event is sponsored through Be The Match,® an organization operated by the National Marrow Donor Program® that helps patients find their life-saving donors and provide support throughout the transplant process.
