Volunteer: Volunteer Opportunities available to support Bone Marrow Drive***THIS OPPORTUNITY IS EXCLUSIVELY FOR ALSAC AAPI EARG TEAM MEMBERS***
Description
Volunteers are needed to
support 2 Bone Marrow Drives to help increase our global Bone Marrow
Registry. Volunteers will help greet potential donors, explain what is
needed to be done and help the donor execute the process. Training will
be provided in advance of the event.
From Chetna: For clarity into why these events are being held – a close member of my family has been diagnosed with cancer and they need a bone marrow transplant. To get a 100% match this can be 1 in 10,000 or even greater – it is not easy. When we learned this, we realized that there are 1000’s of individuals out there that are looking for a donor and the only way they can get support is if we build the registry with as many people who are willing to be a donor. These donors may not be a match today but someday they could be. Awareness and willingness to support is key. The two events my family is hosting is during Holi Events in our community as this will draw a large volume of people for us to engage. Hosted by: Chetna Vaghela & Family Volunteers are needed for several roles. Date: Monday March 28th Time: 11am to 4 pm Location: ICCT Temple in Eads If you are interested in volunteering please let me know and I will get the full details to you. - Chetna Agency: ALSAC / St. Jude Children's Research Hospital ***THIS OPPORTUNITY IS EXCLUSIVELY FOR ALSAC AAPI EARG TEAM MEMBERS***
