Title: Gages Donor Drive a Huge Success
Post by chewy on Nov 26^th, 2006, 8:50pm

Some snipets:

We had 227 people get screened to see if they are a Match for Gage.

close to 100 volunteers were there to ensure that they day was a huge success.

People started showing up with more raffle prizes than I even knew were coming and then people started asking who to make checks out to and where to leave donations for Gage's health fund

At last count several thousand dollars was collected for The Gage Dole Health Fund and several hundred for DKMS the organization that made today possible.

Those who didn't meet age or health requirements came to participate in the raffle, leave a video message for Gage, drop off a donation or simply show that they care

Fox 25 was there early in the day and if they have room then it will be on the 10 o'clock news tonight.

And just think even if the 227 screened in Boston today aren't a match for Gage - how many lives could be saved now and in the future because of today.

That's great. I hope there's a donor in one of those who were tested.
