Alpha Epsilon Phi will partner with Hillel and the Chabad Jewish Student Center at the State University of New York at New Paltz for a bone marrow drive this Wednesday and Thursday. The drive will be open to any student, but the focus is to get Jewish students specifically to register in the bone marrow database.

It is the goal of Gift of Life, the foundation that is coordinating and underwriting this campaign, to fill in the Jewish sample base as densely as possible.

To register for the database participants must take a cheek swab. If the marrow matches someone in need, the donor will be called.

The Gift of Life foundation will be contributing more than $10,000 to sponsor the first 125 people to register.

The drive will be held at 8 p.m. Wednesday in the Crispell Dorm and from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday on the campus concourse at the college, 75 S. Manheim Blvd.
