Gift of Life Drive

By Faculty and Staff, Students

Join Alpha Phi Omega (APO) at the KC 1st floor on Friday, November 15th, between 3-6 p.m., for a Gift of Life drive. We are asking students and community members to stop by and donate oral swabs to help find plasma/platelet/bone marrow matches for those in need of life-saving transplants.

It’s a quick, painless process that could make all the difference for someone battling terminal illness, and every swab increases the chances of a patient finding their perfect match, bringing hope to individuals and families awaiting transplants.

APO thanks you in advance for your generosity and commitment to making a lasting impact, and we look forward to seeing you there!
