When you know someone is a "Junior", there must have been a "Senior" at some point. Lester Crockett, Jr., "Bucky" of #Bucky2theBone, is the son of Lester Crockett, Sr. who would have been 92 years old today. Today is our first time marking his birth date without him.
The anniversary of his death has added significance because it will be the day of our #BeTheMatch bone marrow donor registry drive. While we remember Lester Senior, we will also give new hope to his son and the many others we will potentially be helping as we register new potential marrow donors.
Please join us:
October 11, 2015
2:00 PM - 6:00 PM
IAFF Local 36
2120 Bladensburg Road, NE Suite 210
Washington, DC
This is a Registration Drive & Fundraiser to take place during the Redskins @ Falcons game.
We will be signing up anyone aged 18-44 who come to register. We will also receive monetary donations to #BeTheMatch
THERE IS NO ADMISSION AND NO CHARGE TO JOIN THE DONOR REGISTRY.
If you are outside of the 18-44 age range, please invite and bring those you know who are in this age group, as many as are willing to join the registry and hopefully save a life. If you are not a match for Bucky, you may be a match for someone else.
