Marrow Donor Testing Drive Thursday at Commons, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

[News from the FCS]

The final preparations are in place for the marrow donor testing drive that the Yale football and women's ice hockey teams will lead on Thursday, Apr. 22, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Commons. The testing consists of a simple cheek swab. The drive is free, open to the public and includes pizza and light lunch refreshments. The drive is part of the "Get in the Game. Save a Life." campaign for the National Marrow Donor Program. Thousands of patients with leukemia and other life-threatening diseases depend on resources like the NMDP's Be The Match Registry to find a match. That includes Yale women's ice hockey forward Mandi Schwartz, who has been seeking a match ever since being diagnosed with leukemia.
