Eddie Kaufman, a 20-year-old old Mid Valley School District graduate, is looking for a match.
The sophomore baseball player at Roanoke College was diagnosed with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia last year. He’s now in need of a live-saving stem cell transplant.
Volunteers throughout the region are holding events where potential donors ages 18 to 40 can be swabbed to determine if they are a match.
Events include:
- Thursday, 5 to 8 p.m. at the Throop Civic Center, 500 Sanderson St.
- Friday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Luzerne County UFCW, 2007 Route 315, Jenkins Twp., and Lackawanna County Government Center, 123 Wyoming Ave., Scranton.
