Thanks to Dan Forbes and Kim Wall, the New Hampshire Campus Compact composed of over 20 colleges and universities, has joined the life saving bone marrow movement pledging to add 7000 donors to the registry.

Save Giovanni's Friends has recruited over 20,608 life saving donros since January of 2007, and located 18 life saving matches. In fact, a 19-year-old St A's student is a match and, a 19-year-old Southern Maine University student matched a 1-year-old baby girl.
 
Below is a list of colleges, universities, and schools that have held Save Giovanni's friends bone marrow drives. To hold a drive, fundraiser, or school marketing project please contact Michael at mguglielmo@helpgiovanniguglielmo.org.
