This Year’s RAG Charity
Dundee Marrow This is a small student branch of the national charity, Anthony Nolan. At marrow they sign up willing volunteers to the register on behalf of Anthony Nolan (by spitting in a tube). If a potential donor is found to be a match for a patient on the bone marrow list, they are contacted by Anthony Nolan and asked to give a one-time donation of bone marrow or stem cells. Donors save hundreds of lives each year. They have set goals to raise more awareness for blood diseases and for the work that Anthony Nolan does and raising funds for recruiting more donors.
Their vision: To save and improve the lives of everyone who needs a stem cell transplant.
Raised so far this year!
Help us make RAG bigger and better!
Getting involved in fundraising for a charity, just like any other volunteering activity, is fun and rewarding experience. Over the past few years, DUSA has run a Raising and Giving (RAG) campaign to generate as much money and awareness for a local charity as possible. This year, with introduction of the new Vice President of Fundraising role designed to take RAG off the ground, the campaign will get the attention it truly deserves. One charity selected by students will become our RAG charity of the year and focus of the fundraising campaign.
