Interested in being a bone marrow donor?

Three ONU student organizations have joined together to encourage people to be donors. The first step: complete a form and do a mouth swab. Simple. Those interested in being donors may go to McIntosh Center activities room between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. Tuesday, April 17. Their goal this year: 200 individuals.

The students are working with DKMS, a national organization dedicated to recruiting bone marrow donors. After the mouth swab, DKMS will notify people if they are a match if that event occurs.
