Bone Marrow Registration Event Held at Dragon Productions Theatre 1/22

Dragon Productions Theatre, in cooperation with Be the Match and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Silicon Valley, has announced a bone marrow registration drive at the Dragon Theatre on Sunday, January 22nd from 4:30 – 7pm.

All are welcome to sign up for this critical drive for the National Marrow Donor Program. Thousands of patients with leukemia and other life-threatening diseases depend on the "Be The Match" Registry to find a match.

A bone marrow transplant is a life-changing treatment for people with blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma, sickle cell and other life-threatening diseases. Transplant may be a patient's only hope for a cure. But patients need donors who are a close match.

Registration is simple, and involves completing a health history form and giving a swab of cheek cells. A person must be between the ages of 18 and 60, meet the health guidelines and be willing to donate to any patient in need. Donors with diverse racial or ethnic backgrounds are especially critical. Individuals will become a member of the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) Be The Match Registry. If you match, most donations are done through an automated blood donation – no surgery needed.

For thousands of patients with life-threatening diseases such as leukemia and lymphoma, a marrow transplant from an unrelated donor is their best or only hope for a cure. These patients depend on the Be The Match registry to find a match – and a second chance at life.

"Dragon Productions Theatre and the cast and crew of Marvin's Room are thrilled to be a part of this life saving event."
