The Holy Cross football program will host their 9th annual bone marrow registry drive, head coach Tom Gilmore announced.

The registry will take place on Thursday, April 20 from 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at two locations on the Holy Cross Campus. The locations are the Kimball Dining Hall and the Hogan Campus Center.

Holy Cross Bone Marrow Registry

Holy Cross, as well as numerous other college football programs, are teaming with the Be The Match program in an effort to recruit new members to the registry.

Over the last eight years, 2,234 potential donors have been added to the registry by Holy Cross, with 10 of them going on to have transplants performed.

Through the Holy Cross bone marrow testing drive, area residents, faculty, staff and students can join the registry.
