TODAY Bone Marrow Registry and bake sale fundraiser@ Dartmouth
7pm-11pm
Novack Cafe

BE THE MATCH for someone whose life you can save!

OR Donate to the national bone marrow registry:
Text "MATCH 402" to 50555 (space required between MATCH and 402), and donate $10.  

- You will get a text back that you need to confirm the donation by replying yes.  
Once this is done the donation will come off of your phone bill.

Quick Facts about the National Bone Marrow Registry:

- A tiny minority of cancer patients seeking bone marrow ever find a match
- Registering for the bone marrow registry takes 10 minutes and involves a simple  
cheek swab
- Chances of you being a match are slim
- Donation is not mandatory even if you are a match
- 75% of procedures are non-surgical, non-invasive, and outpatient. Recovery usually  
only takes one day
- For surgeries, recovery is usually within a week and anesthetic is used
- Entering each individual into the registry takes about $100.
