We will be tabling for people to sign up to become a part of the National Bone Marrow Registry. The process will involve students filling out and signing a registration form with information about themselves. They will then use a mouth swab that will be sealed in a small envelope to be used for DNA matching. These envelopes will be shipped to DKMS, a national organization that raises awareness for the bone marrow registry. We will also hand out free DKMS souvenirs to those who sign up.

Reduce financial stress, increase financial confidence, and feel more in control by learning how to reduce emotion in your financial life and by spending money intentionally. Begin investing like the wealthy do with little money to start so you can create significant wealth over time. It’s not scary and Todd will show you that the wealthy are NOT any smarter than you.
