Caz College students seek to raise awareness of bone marrow donor program<\/p>\n
(Cazenovia, NY – March 2013) Students in Cazenovia College\u2019s\u00a0Event Management class will be hosting a\u00a0Be The Match Walk in Cazenovia on April 20 at 2 p.m. in an effort to raise awareness for\u00a0Be The Match \u2013 a national bone marrow donor program.<\/p>\n
Students and community members are invited to participate in the Walk and consider becoming a part of the\u00a0Be The Match Registry. Immediately following the Walk, a reception will be held at Dave\u2019s Diner. During the reception, guests will have the opportunity to participate in a cheek swab and join the\u00a0Be The Match Registry.<\/p>\n
“We decided to organize this walk because it is really close to our hearts,” explained senior Equine Management major\u00a0Matthew Arias, of Beachwood, NJ,\u00a0one of the students in charge of planning the event. “The mother of one of our fellow students was diagnosed with a rare form of MS and actually used\u00a0Be The Match. After hearing how she was helped by the organization, we wanted to raise awareness about this amazing organization. In addition to coordinating the Walk, our class will be accepting donations to contribute to\u00a0Be The Match.\u201d<\/p>\n
Details associated with participating in the Walk will be released closer to the April 20 event.
