Join us at the Be The Match bone marrow donor registry tent by the Big Red Bus! July 6th and 20th, Student Union Plaza, 11 a.m. - 4 p.m.
Korbyn Martinez, a 20-month-old member of our Knight Family (son of Alumnus Cindy Ridgeway), needs a bone marrow transplant and is seeking a donor match.
Everyone is invited to stop by the tent and sign a card for Korbyn and his family!
The process to register as a potential marrow donor is simple: fill out a consent form and do a cheek swab for tissue matching. Those who register will be entered into the database to be potential matches for Korbyn and others like him.
Those interested can find additional information on bone marrow donations on the OneBlood Bone Marrow Donor site.
If you would like to volunteer at the tent, please contact blooddrives@ucf.edu.
