Bone Marrow Typing Drive

Come to the annual Student Nurses Association Bone Marrow Typing Drive. This event registers people for the national bone marrow registry. This year, the typing will be done using cheek swabs, which means it is 100% painless. The registry consists of almost 80% Caucasian people, and there is a large need for minority donors in the registry. The entire typing procedure should only take 20 minutes, please come and bring your friends. One simple swab could bring you on your way to save a life!
