The NJIT Athletic Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is teaming up with Project Life Movement on February 18-19 to hold a Swab Drive in support of increasing the number of potential bone marrow donors nationwide.
The Swab Drive will be held Tuesday, February 18 and Wednesday, February 19 from 11 a.m to 4 p.m. Registration will take place in the NJIT Campus Center Lobby.
NJIT SAAC will be promoting the event on social media with the hashtag #swabtosave.
The ASUN Conference announced its partnership with Project Life Movement (PLM) for the 2019-20 academic year.
Project Life is working with each individual ASUN campus SAAC to sponsor and promote a local cheek swab drive to increase the national bone marrow registry.
The non-profit organization, based out of Charlotte, NC, under the leadership of Executive Director Dr. David S. Lindsay, is focused on creating a national movement to increase the potential pool of bone marrow and tissue donors by testing and registering college students with a simple cheek swab.
