Taking place at the Howard University Hospital Auditorium, the registry drive event is in support of Elise, the owner of Winnie's Bakery in Columbia, MD, and a cancer survivor. She is now battling Myelodysplastic Syndrome and is in immediate need of a blood stem cell transplant. Elise has yet to find a match, and she's calling on her community to join the registry so that she and so many others, particularly Black patients, can find a match. Join us and become a living life-saver on Monday, June 28, 2021, 4 pm - 8 pm, at the Howard University Hospital Auditorium, 2401 Georgia Ave, NW, Washington, DC 20060.
