June 12, 2014 - Midwest League (MWL1)
South Bend Silver Hawks News Release


South Bend, Indiana (June 12, 2014)- Your Silver Hawks and Sweeney Julian Trial Attorneys have teamed up to host a Be The Match donor drive on Friday, June 13th. During the game guests can register with Be the Match to possibly one day help save a life.

Every year, more than 12,000 patients in the U.S. are diagnosed with life-threatening diseases such as leukemia or lymphoma for which a marrow, or umbilical cord blood, transplant from an unrelated donor may be their best or only hope of a cure. About 70 percent of patients in need of a transplant do not have a matching donor in their family. They depend on the Be the Match Registry to find an unrelated donor or umbilical cord blood unit.

The registration process is simple and only involves completing paperwork and doing a quick cheek swab. To join, a person needs to be between the ages of 18 and 44, meet general health guidelines and be willing to donate to anyone in need.

Those that register during the June 13th donor drive will be given four free Silver Hawks tickets for a future game and entered to win an autographed, game worn jersey.

The South Bend Silver Hawks are a Class A minor league team affiliated with the Arizona Diamondbacks. The team is owned and operated by Swing-Batter-Swing, LLC whose sole shareholder is Andrew T. Berlin of Chicago, IL. To purchase tickets to a game visit www.SilverHawks.com, call the Box Office at 574-235-9988, or stop by between 10:00a.m.-5:00p.m.
