For the fourth straight year, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway will host a Blood and Bone Marrow Drive at the Brickyard on July 26 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Hall of Fame Museum East parking lot.
The Blood and Bone Marrow Drive at the Brickyard is a part of the national NASCAR Foundation Annual Blood and Marrow Drive, which is a partnership between The NASCAR Foundation, Hendrick Marrow Program and the Jimmie Johnson Foundation. Fans can donate blood for the American Red Cross and join the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) Registry. Everyone who attends the Drive will receive a free T-shirt or other giveaways.
Donor recipients and their families will be on hand to share their stories and to speak with participants. American Red Cross coloring books, crayons and stick-on tattoos will be provided to children while their parents give blood. Buddy the Blood Drop, official mascot of the American Red Cross, will be on hand to take pictures with kids.
Last year’s Blood and Bone Marrow Drive at the Brickyard was the most successful to date, with 74 pints of blood collected and 86 new members added to the NMDP Registry.
One person who joined the NMDP Registry in the 2005 Drive at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway donated his marrow to a recipient in May 2007.
Ashley Taylor, a young woman from Indianapolis, was diagnosed with two different cancers within a two-year period and received marrow from a donor. Today, she is a healthy 23 year-old college student.
“Four years ago this month, a man who signed up at a drive like this gave me his bone marrow and saved my life,” Taylor said. “Every person who gives blood or is put on the National Registry is giving someone hope.”
