PISCATAWAY -- In honor of former team manager Gianna DeVeitro, the Rutgers women's basketball team is hosting a Bone Marrow Donor Registry Drive on Sunday afternoon.
DeVeitro, a 2016 Rutgers graduate who spent two years working with the women's basketball program, is battling leukemia and received a bone marrow transplant in November.
"Our managers are the backbone of our team that largely go unrecognized, but do so many of the everyday tasks (that) are of the utmost importance to the success of our teams," coach C. Vivian Stringer said in a statement.
"Everyone wants to give back to Gianna because she gave so much to us.
