NAAAP Colorado will partner with the Colorado Asian Culture and Education Network and the Bonfils Blood Center to organize a bone marrow drive for Jodie Gee, a Taiwanese American in need of a bone marrow transplant. Due to the lack of Asian American donors, NAAAP Colorado recognizes the need to spread education on the issue and encourage more donations. Please come to the bone marrow drive and help donate within minutes! We will also provide free boba drinks to the first 50 donors!
