Help add new potential blood stem cell donors to the registry. Why? Because every three to four minutes in the United States someone is diagnosed with a blood cancer or blood disorder, and it could be you or someone you love. Seventy percent of patients need an unrelated donor to treat their disease.

The cure is literally in you, and 90 percent of the time, donation is similar to giving platelets or plasma. Be on the look out for tables across campus––at the UMC, Rec Center, Engineering Center, C4C and Farrand Field––through March 22
