Bone Marrow Donor Drive

Thursday, 18 April, 2024
10:00 AM - 3:00 PM

Have you ever wanted to save a life? On April 18, you can become a part of a growing movement to help strangers in need. SUNY Orange has already been the source of two donor matches. Let's keep the streak going!

The Gift of Life Marrow Registry is a nonprofit organization established in 1991. It is dedicated to saving lives by facilitating blood stem cell and bone marrow transplants for patients with leukemia, lymphoma, and other blood-related diseases. 

Staff from The Gift of Life will be set up in the lobby of the Shepard Student Center, First Floor, on the Middletown Campus on Thursday, April 18 from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m.

If you are interested in signing up to be a potential marrow donor, you simply swab the inside of your cheeks and complete a registration form on your phone. The process is painless and takes just minutes! Ideal candidates are between 18 to 35 years old, but everyone is welcome.

There are currently more than 431,000 registered donors, and there have been over 25,000 donor matches. The more registered donors, the more likely it is that someone in need can find a match. Please take 5 minutes and stop by the Student Center to get swabbed!

If you have any questions about the process, please visit The Gift of Life Website at Gift of Life.
