"Get Swabbed!" on November 15

| Students

The UPEI Student Union is taking part in Canadian Blood Services' 'Get Swabbed!' event on November 15 from 10:00 am-6:00 pm in the W.A. Murphy Student Centre's McMillan Hall. The third annual national university challenge is a coast-to-coast competition amongst universities in support of the OneMatch stem cell and marrow network.

Participants across the country will have their cheeks swabbed to see who will be this year's national champion. The event targets young and diverse-specifically male donors (17-35)-as this particular demographic is vital to OneMatch's efforts in building an optimal stem cell network in Canada. Everyone is encouraged to attend and get swabbed to support UPEI and the Canadian Blood Services.
