The University plays a huge role in this process. From promotion, hosting, and providing volunteers, this really is a UTC-motivated event,\u201d said Craig Glass, Business Development Account Manager for Blood Assurance.<\/p>\n<p>Morgan Hatmaker, a junior Secondary Education English major, jumped at the chance to donate blood.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have donated every year I have been at UTC. It really just feels good to know that you may be saving someone\u2019s life,\u201d said Hatmaker.<\/p>\n<p>Tyler Milton, a sophomore Pre-Professional Biology major, has seen firsthand how a simple blood donation can help someone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy mom is a nurse, so I know that there are usually shortages in blood supply, and every donation can be a big help,\u201d said Milton.<\/p>\n<p>Besides just taking blood donations, the event also signed up participants for the National Marrow Donor Program registry.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2013\/10\/bloodanooga-2013-03.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-attachment-id=\"9900\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2013\/10\/utc-hosts-chattanoogas-largest-blood-drive\/bloodanooga-2013-03\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2013\/10\/bloodanooga-2013-03.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,533\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;3.2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Jaimie Davis&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D800&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1380631365&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;32&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;2000&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.01&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"bloodanooga-2013-03\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2013\/10\/bloodanooga-2013-03.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9900 img-rounded\" alt=\"bloodanooga-2013-03\" src=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2013\/10\/bloodanooga-2013-03.jpg\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\"style=\"max-width: 100%;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2013\/10\/bloodanooga-2013-03.jpg 800w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2013\/10\/bloodanooga-2013-03-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2013\/10\/bloodanooga-2013-03-250x166.jpg 250w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2013\/10\/bloodanooga-2013-03-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a>Unlike blood, there must be a DNA match between donor and recipient for marrow donations. Over 12,000 people a year are diagnosed with various blood cancers, such as leukemia or lymphoma, and around 6,000 of those die due to a lack of a matching donor.<\/p>\n<p>Minorities face the most significant difficulties in finding donors, with only 7% of the registry composed of African Americans.<\/p>\n<p>According to Rhonda Moore, Marrow Representative for Blood Assurance, the lack of marrow donors comes from myths surrounding the process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDonating marrow is not dangerous or painful. The liquid marrow found in the pelvic bone is extracted, and at the most, there may be some slight stiffness and soreness following the quick procedure. At the end of the day, if a little bit of discomfort can save a life, we should all do it,\u201d said Moore.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about Blood Assurance, as well as other blood drives in the area, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bloodassurance.org\/www\">http:\/\/www.bloodassurance.org\/www<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the sixth consecutive year, UTC hosted Bloodanooga, Chattanooga\u2019s largest blood drive.
