Buffs Host Sixth Annual Be The Match Registry Drive

BOULDER – For a sixth year running, the Colorado football program hosted its Be The Match registry drive in conjunction with the both the Colorado Marrow Donor Program and the national one, which the event is named after.

Tuesday, the Buffs were out for five hours inside Balch Fieldhouse on the west side of Folsom Field and signed 295 new members up for the marrow donor registry.

Every year, more than 10,000 people from all ethnic backgrounds are diagnosed with life-threatening blood diseases and those people hope for a marrow/stem cell donor who can make their transplant possible.
