WARREN, Mich. (WJBK) -- Art Van Furniture is teaming up with the American Red Cross to host a blood and bone marrow drive on Friday, Dec. 28 from 8 a.m. - 2 p.m.
It was earlier this month when a metro Detroit baby featured on FOX 2 found a bone marrow match to help fight his rare form of leukemia.
There are still thousands of children and adults who need a bone marrow donation to save their lives, many in metro Detroit. You can give that gift by joining the National Bone Marrow Registry. Learn how at www.bethematch.org.
