Those odds can be improved if more Jews register to be bone marrow donors. The Red Cross will administer the drive at Beth Abraham and has received grants underwriting the $80.60-per-person costs of adding potential donors to the registry. However, donations to the Red Cross will be appreciated. For information or to make an appointment to donate blood, call (510) 832-0936.
