Get in the Game….Save a Life. When presented with that challenge over the years, the Temple Football team has jumped in to help.

On Wednesday, the Temple Football team volunteered and solicited volunteers for the Be The Match® annual bone marrow registry drive.

Over the years, Temple football players helped register over 1,000 people to the bone marrow registry, in hopes that they can be someone's cure. For the thousands of people diagnosed every year with life-threatening blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma, a cure exists. Over the past 25 years, Be The Match®, operated by the National Marrow Donor Program®, has managed the largest and most diverse marrow registry in the world.
