Walsingham volunteers staffed the stand during Thanksgiving break and will be helping out during winter break. The Steering Fund raises money for and holds a Bone Marrow Drive every spring. The main cost is the testing. Each person has six types of human leukocyte antigen markers in their bone marrow. They can all be different variations.
Minorities can test for free, however.
Last year the biggest fund raiser was the golf tournament and also donations from faculty, staff and alumni. The drive will be holding another winter golf tournament. Haws, who chaired the Steering Committee last year, is chairing the golf tournament committee this year. The tournament will be held at Ford s Colony March 26. Meanwhile, the drive is busy with the concession stand, and it may be getting even more help from the administration.
