Bone Marrow Donor Drive

Every year, more than 100,000 cases of blood, bone marrow, and lymph node cancers are diagnosed in the United States, and more than 50,000 people die from these cancers. Among children and teens less than 20 years old, leukemia is the most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer death.

Fortunately, there is a way you can help. Many of these people are searching for a DNA match that can provide them with a life-saving stem cell or bone marrow transplant, and you could be that match. With just a quick, painless swab of your cheek, you can enter yourself onto the national stem cell and bone marrow donor registry and potentially be someone's last shot at life.

If you're interested in helping our cause, come to Powerhouse Gym in Hamilton between 10:00am - 2:00 pm on Saturday, 9/28 and get your cheek swabbed. This event is being sponsored by Valpak of Central Jersey.

It only takes one person to save a life. Could it be you?
