Bone Marrow Registry Drive


There will be a Be The Match bone marrow registry drive at Temple Anshe Sholom, 20820 S. Western Avenue in Olympia Fields on Sunday, March 16 from 11:30 to 1:00 for those people, ages 18 to 44, who wish to register as potential bone marrow or stem cell donors to someone needing such a transplant.  This drive is in honor of Ben Gulizia-Cowing, age 14, who has leukemia and might need a transplant to get well.  He is the grandson of Marcia Cowing, a member of the temple.  There is no charge to get on the registry, although donations to Be The Match is welcome.
