100 likes! Even though our CNU chapter is the smallest chapter in Virginia, over the past four years we have registered over hundreds of students to the National Bone Marrow Registry! We have even had a handful of Captains match with patients on the waiting list!

We hope that this year we can continue to contribute to growing the donor list and help families around the globe. Your help has been outstanding and we owe our success to all of the CNU students that have volunteered with us and joined the registry.

Thank you!

Be the Match On Campus is part of the National Marrow Donor Program. Our group at CNU holds drives, educates the public, and fundraises to save lives.

Do you like raffles where you can win prizes for FREE?!? Then come by our registry drive table Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 11am to 2pm to enter in a gift card raffle and sign up to potentially save a life. We also have a jar full of cotton swabs and if you guess how many are in the jar you win a FREE king-sized candy bar! Lots of great opportunities will come you way if you find our table in the DSU this week! See you there!

Who's ready for another registry drive?! Be the Match at CNU will be having a three day registry drive this week as soon as everyone comes back from fall break. You can find us in the DSU on Wednesday the 12th, Thursday the 13th, and Friday the 14th. Our registry tables will be operating from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm all three days. Come by and join the registry, or feel free to ask us questions about what joining the National Bone Marrow Registry actually means. We are so exited to have another successful at CNU!

Hey everyone! I hope that everyone is enjoying this great summer weather!

Even though school is out, Be The Match still needs your help! For the rest of the summer, we hope that you will help us sign up more people to the registry and with donations so that patients can get the life-saving treatment they deserve. In 2015, more than $3.4 million dollars was given in patient assistance grants to help more than 2,000 families afford transplants. Let's by helping even more families!
