Part 1: Co-hosted with Delta Epsilon Psi Fraternity Inc.
Location: Reitz Union Colonnade
Time: 10:00 AM-3:00 PM
Description: Come show support for Timothy Song who is in need of bone marrow donors. Timothy, was diagnosed with CGD (chronic granulomatous disease) at 2 months of age. It's a rare primary immunodeficiency disease. He is unable to fight off common everyday infections on his own. The only cure for this disease is a bone marrow or cord blood transplant. He is on prophylaxis: 2 types of antibiotics and immune boosting shots. Without it, Timothy would suffer from life threatening infections.This bone marrow drive gives us the opportunity to change his life!!!
