You DID Something Loving!
Mixed Marrow wants to thank you on behalf of patients everywhere for supporting our “Do Something Loving” campaing this Loving Day, 2011! We were able to reach out to people in California, New York, Georgia, Delaware, and Washington this year at local Loving Day celebrations. In Los Angeles, CA, New York, NY, and Griffin, GA, we were able to host in-person drives with the help of dedicated volunteers who spent their weekend registering new donors.
Thanks for making this Loving Day a success!
**Couldn’t make it out to a Loving Day event this year, but still want to help? Email us at donate@mixedmarrow.org on how you can register as a lifesaving donor!
