BloodSource "Be the Match"
As California Celebration is a day to celebrate our state's diversity, we can do something to help our diverse population too. There is a need for a more diverse registry of Bone Marrow Donors. “Be the Match” Marrow Registry is looking for donors of bi-racial bone marrow.
Help grow the registry by signing up at the BloodSource booth and get more information on how you can help. Also, new "Be the Match" registrants will receive a Zoo for Two Pass for their next visit to the Zoo.
