Just Swab It

Saturday, Sept. 29, 10 a.m. 1 p.m. Carlos O’Brien’s, 7111 E. Bell Road, Scottsdale, Arizona

Just Swab It will match potential donors to patients who need a bone marrow transplant. With a simple swab of the cheek, their DNA will be examined for compatibility. If they are a match, they will be added to the national donor registry. Donating marrow is often as easy as donating blood. The event is free and open to the public. Donors must be between the ages of 18 and 60. For more information, visit www.marrow.org. The event is sponsored by Arizona Oncology.
