On March 27th we will be holding a Bone Marrow Donation Drive in order to find a bone marrow donor for Ethan and Isaac. Joining the Bone Marrow Registry means just getting a simple, painless cheek swab. Testing of the swabs costs about $50 a person, which is why we are also having a silent auction to raise funds for the drive! We ask that anyone who can make a donation for the testing, do so. Those generous donations and funds raised at the silent auction will cover the cost of the testing.
Now is the time to get your business in the Life Saving Business! Hold My Hand For Life will be holding a silent auction to raise funds to hold a bone marrow drive on March 27th. This would be a great advertising tool for you and a life saving one for Ethan and Isaac! Check back soon to see a list of the many exciting items that will be auctioned off! You can contact us at the email link to the right or contact a HMHFL member at 434-960-0863.
Many local businesses and even a Major League Baseball team or two have already promised items for the auction! Spring_Fling_2010_-_flyer

We will have volunteers helping out at the event. You can read more about the Bone Marrow Donation process here www.marrow.org . Bring the whole family! There will be moon bounces, an ENORMOUS egg hunt, free food, games and fun for all! The time is TBA. It will most likely be in the afternoon.
