Here is a worthy volunteer opportunity that takes place at RaiseRED this year! If you are interested, you can access the sign-up sheet here.
“I hope all is well! I am Jocelyn Messer, Campus Engagement Specialist, with Gift of Life Marrow Registry. Gift of Life is a non-profit and international stem cell and marrow registry that finds matching donors for patients battling diseases like leukemia, lymphoma, sickle cell, and other immune disorders. We seek to grow our public registry through relationships with universities and student organizations.
We'll be running a donor drive at RaiseRED this semester for the third year in a row! So, we're looking for volunteers that would like to help table and spread our mission! We'll be issuing service hours and Gift of Life swag to anyone that wants to help out. This isn't your regular volunteer opportunity! We're a fun bunch of people who are passionate about saving lives!”
