ONU Bone Marrow Registration Day

Today the ONU Do It Now! team stopped by the Newman Club’s bone marrow registration drive. One of their member’s siblings is in need of a transfusion, so the group is trying to boost registration in hopes of finding a match. It was a refreshing surprise to see the number of students and community members who turned out for the drive. Furthermore, the heavy traffic in the student center did garner us additional attention; quite a number of individuals stopped by to ask us what we were doing. Among those who stopped, a happily large portion of them stated that they are already registered as organ donors, and have been for as long as they’ve been eligible. Though our campaign was less successful than the bone marrow registration in terms of new people signing up, it bolstered our faith in humanity to see so many people willing to help out a total stranger and become a potential bone marrow donor. Give life.
