Delta Sigma Theta will be sponsoring a bone marrow drive to help recruit potential donors, especially for African-American patients. Black and African American patients only have a 17% chance of finding a match (compared to 61% for Caucasians) because there are not enough on our registry.
The event is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, April 10, 2010 from 10:00am to 3:00pm, location TBD.
This event will be open to the community. For more information please contact Sharon S. Morris at smorris72@cox.net.

Join us for a discussion with Manuel Cordero from the RI Department of Education and the CARE Alliance's very own Bob Vanderslice from the Department of Health to learn about how the air INSIDE our homes and schools affects our health and the ways we can work to make it better. Learn about efforts to improve indoor air quality in RI schools through the "Tools for Schools" program and how you can make changes in your own home that reduce asthma and make your home healthier.
Refreshments provided, as usual. Please visit http://ejlri.wordpress.com/our-work/care-alliance/ for additional information.
