Be the Match Event Set March 29

The University Honors Program is hosting a Be The Match® event on Tuesday March 29 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the Wood River Room in the SUB, in honor of their late fellow student, Elyse Prow.

Elyse Prow was an Honors college and education student at Idaho State University who passed away from t-cell lymphoma in early 2021.

For patients diagnosed with leukemia, lymphoma, and other life-threatening diseases, a bone marrow or cord blood transplant may be their best or only hope for a cure. Yet 70 percent of patients who need a transplant do not have a fully matched donor in their family. They depend on organizations like Be The Match® and their supporters to find a match to save their life.

Please consider saving a LIFE of someone from your heritage with 70 different blood diseases like sickle cell or blood cancers like leukemia.
