Brown: Brown’s Football Team Hosts Fourth Annual “Be The Match” Bone Marrow Donor Tes

[News from the FCS]

For the last three years, the “Be The Match” Bone Marrow Testing Drive has become a major part of the Brown Football program, with nearly 800 students, faculty, staff and community members signing up as potential donors. Last year, one of its players, defensive back Matt Shannon ’14, gave the ultimate gift of life when he became a bone marrow donor and saved another man’s life. Brown Football is joining collegiate football teams throughout the country in an effort to recruit 5,000 new bone marrow volunteers to the “Be The Match” registry. The Bears will sponsor their Fourth Annual Bone Marrow Donor Testing Drive on Tuesday, Apr. 9, 2013, at Sayles Hall, located on the main campus, from 10 am to 5 pm. The drive is open to the public and sponsored by Brown Football and the Brown Warren Alpert Medical School.
