Michigan Marrow Donor Dash returning to Ann Arbor this summer

Wolverines for Life, U-M Health and Be the Match will be teaming up to hold the second annual Michigan Marrow Donor Dash and Picnic on July 31 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Stop by to walk a 3k around the scenic Olson Park pond and celebrate bone marrow donation.

A variety of games, activities, music and giveaways will be available throughout the morning.

Registration is $30 with discounts available for students and children.

Proceeds will benefit Be the Match and the U-M Bone Marrow Transplant Department.

Unable to attend? Donations are welcome as well as a chance to participate via a virtual walk the week prior. A pre-determined route around U-M Health will be emailed out to those who are interested. Registrants are also welcome to participate at home, in their neighborhood, at a local park or any convenient location.

Volunteers are also needed to help with set-up, tear-down and staffing tables. Click here to sign up as a volunteer.
