We reported a few weekends back about the great success that bone marrow registry service Be the Match had in signing up new donors.  The hope is that by expanding the donor network, patients like local ballplayer Dallas Humphreys will have an easier time finding a match.

There will be one final drive at Blair Field this Sunday, from 10am-4pm, in conjunction with the Dirtbags game.  Long Beach Memorial will also be accepting blood donations—there will be free ice cream for blood donors. For questions about blood donation, contact Cheryl Berlow at [email protected] or (562) 234-9516.  For more on the donor registry, contact Anna Marie Cruz at [email protected].
