After months of preparation and huge anticipation The Marrow Match Gala took place at the Liberty Theater in Times Square on Sunday November 18th to benefit Gift of Life Bone Marrow Foundation.
Jake donated bone marrow to Sandy, a 54 year old woman with Chronic Idiopathic Myelofibrosis. Sandy was matched with three potential donors, “they determined that Jake was the best one,” she recalled.
This year, Jordan has decided to honor Gift of Life with the proceeds from his event. Game Night will be taking place at Young Israel of North Woodmere’s party room in North Woodmere, New York on Sunday, November 25th.
Did you know that Gift of Life was the first registry in the world to recruit donors online through its website in 2000? Since that time, thousands of donors have signed up through Gift of Life’s website and requested that a swab kit be sent directly to them in the mail.
