D04W NMDP Event At the OC 26 Night Market
K.N., Godinez, D04W
This event was held with NMDP and its mission to help blood cancer patients. Our job as volunteers was to educate others on how their contributions could save a life, and to learn the difference between donating blood or donating bone marrow.
Additionally, we motivated them to do a cheek swab and fill out a form. This event was a continuation of a previous weekend where we got to work with the NMDP where many of our club members returned; and also where we had a special guest as our LTG, Josh, came to volunteer with our club for 5 hours that weekend.
This was an exciting event that also gave us insight into the work that is put into helping cancer patients. Working with NMDP was a great experience, a colleague, Shei, who was in charge of the event was very passionate about NMDP which motivated everyone to interact with people at the OC Night Market.
Overall, the entire event was a great time for us and we were able to accommodate a good amount of people.
