On September 11, 2010, there were several memorial services throughout the city to recognize family and friends lost in this tragic attack.\u00a0 On the same day, I also attended another important event that occurred at the Harlem School of the Arts<\/a>. \u00a0The location was a perfect venue for promoting the school\u2019s attributes, education in general, and the significance of participating in volunteer programs such as The Icla da Silva Foundation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Be The Match<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The foundation is committed to maintaining a bone marrow donor registry. \u00a0Their goal of building an ethnically diverse archive can only be accomplished through the generosity of people willing to participate in this program. \u00a0Involvement not only encompasses donor recruitment but also, community outreach, education, fundraising, and medical support. \u00a0Through the Be The Match Program<\/a>, registration is quick, easy, and yields the satisfaction that you might save someone\u2019s life.<\/p>\n

Basic Requirements<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After filing out the necessary, but simple paperwork and reviewing the requirements of the program, I provided a cheek swab that took less than a minute to produce.\u00a0 That was it!\u00a0 I can\u2019t think of a more positive way to offset some of life\u2019s tragedies than through the act of giving.\u00a0 For information on future drives in the NYC area, see Find a Donor Drive<\/a>.<\/p>\n
