Join the Match!

For any churches in our district that would like to host a marrow (stem cell) drive, Four States Life Match can set up the drive in the Mt. Pleasant or Texarkana Quadrents.  Churches can contact me on my cell at:

903-399-0001

In Longview and Marshall Quadrants they can contact Anita Quinn who is with Be Cause I Care at 903-759-3349.  There is no charge for those who register but it does cost our local volunteer organization $100 for each person we place on the Be The Match national registry, so financial donations are welcome and very much appreciated.

 

Here is a link to register to get on the list of potential bone marrow donors.  Please help others whose lives you can save.
