Please join me for drinks at Glass Lounge on May 15 to celebrate my 32nd birthday, hold a FUNdraiser, and last but certainly not least, get some FREE - that's right FREE - BONE MARROW SCREENINGS!!! Did I say FREE bone marrow screenings? You bet I did. Instead of paying the customary $52 to join the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP), the New York Blood Center will be offering FREE - how many times can I say FREE in one paragraph? - marrow testing at my event . The test is not scary, it just involves a quick little wink of the eye and swab of the mouth: There is NO blood involved.
As most of you know, as a member of Team in Training, I have pledged to raise over $2500 while training for this year's New York City Triathlon, along with 375 of my teammates. I have taken on this challenge in memory of my cousin Simon.
We will also be selling really cool Team in Training Buffs (a uniquely versatile garment wear it in up to 12 different ways for protection, comfort and FUN!) for $20!!
IMPORTANT INFO: - I am asking for a $25 suggested donation - you can pre-donate online here or you can donate at the door or not donate at all.
- It's more important to me to get more people into the national marrow database - if for ANY reason you don't want to donate (whether you're also raising money, have no money, etc), please come anyway.
- If you're in any way uncomfortable with the idea of donating marrow if you're a donor match, it's not mandatory. Again, please come anyway, we'll put you in a little corner with all of the other non-donators. Free dunce caps will be available for you.
Marne, I'm one of your teammates and I really appreciate the chance to be in the database (especially for free!). Great idea for a party! I'll be there.
do you really know over 600 people? of course i'll be there, i already told jair i'll work the drive that night for you. resident donor expert at your service :)
