The James Oryell Memorial Bone Marrow Drive

Please come down to the food court at the Shoppes of Buckland Hill in Manchester, CT on Saturday September 15 at 11-3 and register for the "Be The Match" organization. Registration is as simple as getting your cheek swabbed and actual donation is as easy as giving blood. Come down to say hi and ask your questions about bone marrow donation and maybe you can save a life.

Please note that many patients with an auto immune disease waiting for a match and who will not be lucky enough to find one are of African American and Hispanic desent, therefore minority donors are needed and are strongly urged to register.
