Delivering Gift of Life in Okeechobee June 10

You could be the match.

From 8:00 am to 2:30 pm on Thursday, June 10, the South Florida District will have a kickoff for the Delivering the Gift of Life Campaign, USPS Marrow Donor Program, at the Okeechobee Post Office at 1000 State Road 70 East in Okeechobee. This is the first of several events to be scheduled in the district.

The USPS has played a leading role since 1997 in helping recruit potential donors to the Marrow Donor Program through its Delivering the Gift of Life Campaign.

In 2009, the USPS was the recipient of the first “Rod Carew Award for Leadership” for having saved more lives through marrow donation, more than any other business organization in the nation. The patients that we have helped have leukemia, lymphoma, sickle-cell and other life-threatening diseases that can be treated by a marrow or cord blood transplant.
