DKMS™/Miss Lady Entertainment Bone marrow Donor Recruitment Drive Feb. 17, 2007 at the UNLV’s MPE Center: Join Celebrities for our Goal to Bring Hope to Jaden Hilton by Registering as a Donor from 12p
January 27, 2007 (Press Release) --
New York, January 23, 2007 —DKMS/MISS LADY ENTERTAINMENT will host a donor recruitment drive during with RUN LAS VEGAS event series during All-Star Weekend for Jaden Hilton at UNLV’s MPE Center from 12pm-6pm.
DKMS’ New York office opened this year as the U.S. branch of DKMS, a German-based non-profit organization founded in 1991 and DKMS Americas incorporated in 2004, which maintains the world’s largest bone marrow donor database with nearly 1.5 million registered donors. It has supplied more than 10,000 transplants –today, nearly five a day-since it’s founding. DKMS stands for Deutsche Knochenmarkspenderdatei, or German Bone Marrow Donor Center in English. The New York office will help meet increasing U.S. demand for bone marrow transplants.
Jaden is 3 years old boy, struggling against leukemia. He is African-American and has acute leukemia, which was diagnosed in early 2006. Since then, he has been undergoing chemotherapy, in the hope that he could be cured without having to undergo a stem cell transplant. Since tissue types are inherited, patients in need of a bone marrow transplant are most likely to match with someone from the same ethnic background. Currently, minority groups are underrepresented in the donor registry. As a result, is it is much harder for anyone from a minority background with leukemia or other blood disease to find a donor match. There are 6 million the national registry’s and only 7% are minorities. CELEBRITIES, MISS LADY ENTERTAINMENT and DKMS are set on evening out the odds.
Our Celebrities include DJ Clue and Desert Storm, Fabolous, JD Williams from HBO’s the Wire, Boxer Zab Judah, Producer Matthew Hatchette, Former NY Jets Damien Robinson, Comedienne Sommore, Comedian Jemmerio, Shade 45 Sirius Radio, Lil Shawn, Former NBA player Steffond Johnson, DJ Juanito and DJ Kast from Hot 97, and many more to come.
