Gift of Life is undertaking an ambitious endeavor to register up to 25,000 new bone marrow and blood stem cell donors during the High Holidays this year, and we are inviting you to help sound the call to action!  Our goal is to encourage visitors to log on to our website and request an at-home testing kit.  There’s no better time than 5769 to:

• Inform your fellow congregants and associates about Gift of Life.
• Encourage them to visit us on the web at www.giftoflife.org or call 1 800 9-MARROW to request at-home testing kits.
• Contact your shul’s rabbinical or professional leadership and provide them with the information necessary so they can either make an announcement for GOL, or allow you to speak upon our behalf and sound a call to action along with the shofar!

"When approached, people in general have been extremely enthusiastic about helping us get the word out and encouraging people to get tested this holiday season,” said Jay Feinberg, Executive Director and Founder. “They know first-hand the joy that can be experienced from helping someone in need, and they do not hesitate to tell everyone they know about what we do at Gift of Life."

Click HERE to view a downloadable sample flyer (customizable upon request) which explains that all it takes is a simple swab of the inside cheek to save lives!  If your synagogue could distribute or place these flyers prominently in the sanctuary lobby before services, it will help to encourage future donors to participate.  Feel free to send this flyer to everyone in your address book! 

Happy New Year 5769 from the Gift of Life Bone Marrow Foundation!
