DKMS to collect cheek swabs Thursday
International non-profit DKMS will be on campus Thursday to swab mouths of anyone interested in donating bone marrow.
DMKS was founded 25 years ago in Germany by a doctor whose wife died of leukemia. The United States offices opened in 2004, and over 6 million potential donors have been registered worldwide.
Getting a cheek swab does not commit to actually making a bone marrow donation. The swabs are stored and tested to find potential matches for blood cancer patients.
Swabs will be taken from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the Memorial Student Center Plaza.
