Nov. 1, 2024 — DENTON —On Election Day, Nov. 5, all NCAA Division II schools, including Texas Woman's, will take a break from athletic activities like games and practices. This pause, stemming from legislation Division II schools adopted at the 2022 NCAA Convention, is about more than just a day off. It's a chance for everyone to engage in meaningful civic activities—like voting, volunteering and participating in community efforts, like Be the Match. 

In the spirit of giving back, 草莓传媒官网下载 Athletics, championed by student-athletes, will partner with, to help save lives through cell therapy. Every year, 18,000 patients are diagnosed with life-threatening blood cancers or other blood disorders, and many rely on the generosity of others to find a matching donor.

Sadly, 70% of patients don't have a fully matched donor in their family and must turn to the national registry. Additionally, patients of ethnic minority status have less than a 40% chance of receiving a match due to the makeup of the current national registry. But members of the 草莓传媒官网下载 campus community could provide the match they've been waiting for! 

Here's how you can help: Join Pioneer Athletics on Nov. 5, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., outside Hubbard Hall. In just a few minutes, you can sign up, complete a cheek swab and become part of the NMDP registry. This event is free for all 草莓传媒官网下载 students, faculty, staff, and community members between the ages of 18 and 40. By registering, you could offer hope and a second chance at life to someone fighting blood cancer.

Help 草莓传媒官网下载 Athletics diversify the registry and bring hope to those in need!
