Bone Marrow Drive
Remember Evan Perricelli pictured here on the right with his brothers?  He is a thriving third grader today at Mann Elementary after being diagnosed with a rare blood disease (aplastic anemia) two years ago.  Evan spent all of his first grade year on home hospital.  One of his brothers donated his bone marrow to be transplanted successfully into Evan.  

Evan's family is now helping host a Bone Marrow drive this Saturday as a way to "pay it forward."  There are thousands of children without a sibling match. 50% of those needing a bone marrow transplant never find their match.  Evan and his parents are hoping you will come out and help build up the bone marrow registry so that more children like Evan can be saved.  

There's no pain involved just a swab to see if your child is a match to save another child's life.  Please see below for times and location.
