Gift of Life Bone Marrow Foundation
Alpha Epsilon Pi has partnered with the Gift of Life Bone Marrow Foundation to raise awareness among students on college campuses throughout North America about the life-saving potential of bone marrow transplants. At the 2004 Convention, this new partnership was announced and students had the chance to be tested to join Gift of Life's registry. The Gift of Life Bone Marrow Foundation was established in 1991 as a donor recruitment organization to help save the life of New Jersey leukemia patient Jay Feinberg. Between 1991-95, the organization launched an ambitious grassroots campaign to recruit donors of Eastern-European Jewish ethnicity throughout North America and abroad. Over the course of four years, 60,000 donors registered with the National Marrow Donor Program in the United States, as well as other national registries in Canada, Israel and many other countries through Gift of Life's campaign. |
