Members of the Oklahoma Blood Institute were set up at the OU-Idaho State football game this Saturday to raise awareness for an important national database helping to pair genetically similar people around the world.
With rain and wind bearing down on a crowded Gaylord Memorial Stadium, students and football fans alike had an opportunity to sign up for the National Bone Marrow Registry.
The program of more than 7.5 million individual listings gives desperate patients the chance to find their genetic match, according to the National Marrow Donor Program website.
If you were not able to attend the event or would like more information about the database go to http://www.marrow.org
