  • Swab 2 Save - Gift of Life Bone Marrow Registry

    Interested in swabbing to save cancer patients? Gift of Life is an organization facilitated by an on campus ambassador that presents to different clubs who are interested in becoming a part of the bone marrow registry.  Many patients suffering from leukemia, lymphoma or other cancers and genetic disorders, have the hope of a cure through a bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cell transplant. Gift of Life is the 15 th largest bone marrow registry among the 75 accredited members of the World Marrow Donor Association representing public registries worldwide. Thanks to the generous support of people like you, we have facilitated over 3,000 life saving transplants for children and adults in dire need.


    Due to recent circumstances, we will be unable to do in-person swabbing. However, we will be able to present to groups online or if you are an individual who wants to swab, please download the SwabApp from the app store or visit https://www.giftoflife.org/swab and enter code 8733.
