Dear SFPJ colleagues,
As part of the annual Eberth Alarcon Memorial Peace and Justice Series, I w
ould be very grateful if SFPJ would join other campus organizations in spon
soring a bone marrow drive on March 3rd 2009. As you may know, minorities
have an incredibly difficult time finding compatible donors, so it would be
great if SFPJ could sponsor the National Marrow Donor registry coming to c
ampus so that both minorities and Caucasians could register to be donors.
I've already been in conversation with Beatriz Martinez of the NDMP and th
ey are excited about the chance to recruit here. I'll be happy to talk mor
e about this at next week's meeting.
Thanks,
