Bone Marrow Donor Registry Drive hosted by M Squared Group

Twin Cities data-driven marketing consulting firm M Squared Group will open its doors to add 300 people to the Be The Match Registry during a donor registry drive on Thursday, Aug. 20 at M Squared Group’s office in Eden Prairie, Minn.  Other local marketing firms also are participating in the drive, which is open to the public.  M Squared Group aims to spread the word about bone marrow donation, while promoting the Be The Match Foundation’s annual fundraising event on Sept. 30 in Minneapolis.

A Personal Connection

The donor registry drive is spearheaded by M Squared Group partner, Andrew Mullin.  Mullin, who also helps lead the Be The Match Foundation’s fundraising committee, has a personal connection to this cause: in 2007, he donated marrow to a 27-year-old recipient with leukemia.

“The more people who join the Be The Match Registry, the greater the chance that more critically ill patients will find their match,” Mullin said.  “It’s one of the most rewarding things I have done, and we’re excited to give others the same opportunity.”
