There Goes My Hero is hosting a bone marrow registry drive at the CIAA Fan Fest Vendor Village to add potential bone marrow/stem cell donors onto the bone marrow donor registry to increase blood cancer patients' chances of finding a match. Volunteers play a crucial role at drives like this one because they help us educate passerby on the importance of joining the registry and facilitate the swabbing process.
The event takes place on Friday, March 1st, from 10am-8pm, and Saturday, March 2nd, from 10am-8pm. Volunteers do not have to volunteer for the entirety of the event, but are encouraged to volunteer for at least 2 hours.
To volunteer, you need to be trained in order to educate passerby and facilitate the swabbing process. Depending on your preference, training can be provided virtually or in-person on the day of the event.
If you have any questions about this volunteer opportunity or would like to learn more, please email andrea@theregoesmyhero.org.
