Collaboration aims to recruit marrow donors at college campuses nationwide.
(1888PressRelease) January 31, 2018 - Degy Entertainment, a leader in talent acquisition and event management, has announced today that Gift of Life Marrow Registry has been named their official nonprofit partner. Gift of Life, a leading bone marrow and stem cell registry, has facilitated thousands of lifesaving marrow transplants for children and adults. Together, they will work to increase and diversify the registry by offering opportunities to swab at events on college campuses, fairs and festivals.
“We are thrilled to be working with Degy Entertainment to expand awareness of marrow registry recruitment on college campuses around the country,” said Gift of Life Director of Community Engagement Marti Freund. “Our partnership will allow us to connect people’s love for music with the opportunity to make a real difference and save lives.”
A simple swab from the inside of your cheek is all it takes to join the registry and determine if you are a match. It’s fast, painless and all information is confidential. If you are between the ages of 18 and 45 and in general good health, you are eligible to be screened and join the worldwide registry for patients in need.
Degy President and CEO Ari Nisman saw firsthand the results of the amazing work of Gift of Life. Prior to a Degy booked show at the University of Florida (UF), marrow donor and UF student Michael Cizek, met Jeffrey Turner, the man whose life he helped save as a result of joining the registry. The two were introduced for the first time on stage at Flavet Field in a very emotional meeting.
“After seeing Gift of Life in action this year, I couldn’t be more proud to have our company affiliated with this life-saving charity,” said Nisman. “We are proud to be working with the organization and plan to encourage our clients to find creative ways to get the message out and swab everyone they can to save more lives!”
