Cammy Lee Leukemia Drive
Friday, November 7, 2008, 11 am - 3 pm
Lerner East Ramp Lounge

Each fall, Lambda Phi Epsilon holds the Cammy Lee Leukemia Donor Registration Drive to help the victims of leukemia and other blood diseases, particularly for those of Asian/Pacific Islander heritage. As marrow and stem cells are hereditary, most patients would most likely find matches within their own ethnicities.
The Cammy Lee Foundation collects samples from donors with a simple, painless mouth swab, and in the case of a potential database match with a leukemia patient, the donor is then contacted. There is no obligation and no commitment aside from a mouth swab on the day of the drive. The entire process of registering into the national donor database takes about 5 minutes.
We have scheduled this year's bone marrow drive for Friday, November 7th from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. in Lerner East Ramp Lounge. We encourage everyone to come and register, and potentially save a life! If you have already registered in a previous Cammy Lee registration drive, there is no need to re-register.
Our partners at Global AMSA will also be on hand to spread the word of cancer awareness by giving out cranes. Lambda Phi Epsilon will also be giving out free pizza and cookies!
