[pt2025] Last Call: Earl Young's Swab Drive

[Altizer, Sydney E.]

Hello CPHS!
Student Affairs is excited to bring a Swab Drive to Campbell University! Earl Young, a 1960 Olympic Gold Medalist, was given a second chance at life after battling an aggressive form of leukemia, thanks to a stem cell donor. Inspired by his journey, Earl Young’s Team was founded to defeat blood cancer through donor awareness and action. The foundation has added over 22,000 new potential donors to the donor registry, resulting in more than 100 matches that have saved lives. Here is a video about Young’s journey.
