NEWARK, NJ—The NJIT Athletic Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is teaming up with Project Life Movement on February 18-19 to hold a Swab Drive in support of increasing the number of potential bone marrow donors nationwide.

The Swab Drive will be held on Tuesday, February 18 and Wednesday, February 19 from 11am-4pm.  Registration will take place in the NJIT Campus Center Lobby.

NJIT SAAC will be promoting the event on social media with the hashtag #swabtosave.

The ASUN Conference announced its partnership with Project Life Movement (PLM) for the 2019-20 academic year. 

Project Life is working with each individual ASUN campus SAAC to sponsor and promote a local cheek swab drive to increase the national bone marrow registry.
