QUBT Stem Cell Promotion Booth

We will be conducting a stem cell registration event at a table in the ARC. This would involve providing the Canadian Blood Services approved stem cell registration kits to interested individuals who can then take them home to complete. The actual process of registration involves completing a cheek swab with a soft Q tip like material and is non invasive. We will also provide a raffle sign up sheet for individuals to win various gift cards if they take the time to speak with us. Participants do not have to complete a stem cell registration kit to sign up for the raffle as there is no coercion allowed to be involved in obtaining stem cell donors. The focus of the event will be largely promotional, focusing on education on the importance of stem cell and blood donation as well as providing information on QUBT’s activities and mission.
