In 2008, Drive for David hosted a couple of very successful events!

April 24 and 25, 2008:  Drive for David Fundraiser

MCPHS Atrium, Boston, MA

Thanks to the help of our friends, supporters, and fellow students, we hosted a raffle and donation-driven bake sale, raising over $1200 in only two days!  Many prizes were donated to our raffle as well, thanking both our winners and everyone who contributed.  This was truly monumental, and our first event!

May 31, 2008:  Our first bone marrow drive!

MCPHS Student Lounge, Boston, MA

Our team was assisted by nurses provided from the National Marrow Donor Program, who were on hand to teach our volunteers the techniques and importance of HLA testing.

We added nearly 50 new potential donors to the database!  Everyone surely enjoyed coffee, donuts, bagels and a Red Sox ticket raffle!  Thank you to everyone who came out!
