A bone marrow drive will be held from 8 a.m. to noon, Saturday, May 16th at Mayfield Elementary School, 302 Plum Creek Road in Mayfield Township to help find a donor for kindergarten student Sydney Page Gavan.
The school held a successful fundraiser for Sydney Friday night and invites anyone between the ages of 18 and 60 to come Saturday to see if they are a bone marrow donor match for Sydney.
Participants will be asked to fill out a brief health questionnaire, submit to a painless mouth swab and be in general good health. A $25 tax deductible fee is requested to pay for the processing, but financial aid is available to potential donors who need help paying the fee.
For further information call (810) 441-6088. Mayfield Elementary School is about ½-mile west of M-24 on Plum Creek Road.
