Coming Soon To Your Campus

Everyone who can has been coming together to do a powerful mitzvah: helping save a life. ❤️


A dear friend of our community, Daphne, is searching for the one person who could be her life-saving stem cell match. She urgently needs a compatible donor — and it could be you.


Join us on your campus soon for just 5 minutes to get swabbed, or stay for a bagel, snacks and drinks with friends from school. One small action can make an enormous difference.


We’re proud to partner with Canadian Blood Services and Swab The World to host this swab drive — all to help Daphne find her match.
