Jessica
and Jason Grossman created a Facebook EVENT PAGE for
the April 26th, 2009 Bone
Marrow drive .
OneMatch Stem Cell and Marrow Network is responsible for finding
and matching volunteer donors for patients who require stem
cell transplants. Fewer than 30 per cent of patients who need
stem cell transplants find a compatible donor within their
own families. The rest rely on those who have volunteered
to donate stem cells to anyone in need.

Gift of Life Bone Marrow Foundation: Gift of Life has been
a leader in the world of donor registries. It was the first
to utilize bloodless (buccal swab) testing routinely at donor
recruitment drives.
Recruitment groups are welcome to establish funds with Gift
of Life. When contributions are received at Gift of Life in
support of a particular group, they will be credited to the
fund and used for the purpose of underwriting the cost of
the group's testing. Please read how
to donate on behalf of the Grossman's.
It is important that the group notify their constituents
to include the group name either in the memo section of the
check or in a letter accompanying the check. If the contribution
is made online at giftoflife.org, a notation can be made in
the comments field or fund drop-down list box. Gift of Life
will issue tax receipts for contributions received from U.S.
and Canadian contributors."
