CPCC launches Project Life chapter

CPCC, together with Project Life, a national program dedicated to finding and enlisting college students as potential donors for bone marrow and tissue transplants, have partnered to educate CPCC students, faculty and staff on the importance of becoming a bone marrow donor.

The CPCC Chapter’s first official event is scheduled in February 2012, when it will host two, separate donor drives to recruit at least 300 new donors to the National Bone Marrow Registry.

Getting typed is painless, and entails nothing more than having the inside of your mouth swabbed. It’s that easy.

Then what happens? Then you wait to see if your participation makes you a match and helps bring hope and healing to another human being.

Help save a life this winter by joining us at one of our upcoming donor drives, scheduled at a CPCC campus near you.

The program began more than 20 years ago, when a group of students at Davidson College started a grassroots movement to identify potential college students as donors for the National Bone Marrow Registry.

Since then, thousands of individuals have participated, and the program has grown to include 10 other college campuses in North Carolina. CPCC is proud to be included among these higher education institutions and house the first active Project Life chapter in the Charlotte metro area.
