Feb. 17: DKMS stem cell donor drive

Do you want to delete blood cancer? Join Camp Kesem in the Brew on Tuesday, Feb. 17! You do not have to donate any blood; we are registering YOU to potentially donate in the future if someone turns out to be your match and needs a donation.

For every registration, our chapter receives $5, which goes toward funding our summer camper for children who have been impacted by a parent's cancer.

Camp Kesem will be in the Brew on Feb. 17 from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. (Times might change. Visit Camp Kesem's Instagram at @kesemaugustana for up-to-date information.)

• Registering is quick and easy. Visit the Camp Kesem table in the Brew, and a volunteer will get you registered. It consists of completing a registration form and swabbing the inside of the mouth.
• The swabbing process is simple and painless and involves swabbing the inside of your mouth with a cotton swab. Anyone in good health between the ages of 18-55 can register.
