Preserve Our Legacy, Inc. was launched more than six years ago, with the intention of trying to help save lives, after a friend’s son lost his battle to leukemia. Brett and Shana Melius were unsure of which road to take, however, divine intervention had them embark on a mission to increase awareness about treatment options available to patients in need through stem cells.
On Wednesday, May 1, 2013, Preserve Our Legacy will host a networking fundraiser with the theme “Spare Cells Saves Lives” at The 40/40 Club located at 6 W 25th St, New York, NY 10010. Grammy Award Winning Singer/Songwriter Chrisette Michele will host this event. Privvy guests will get a chance to spend a wonderful evening with Grammy Award Winning Singer/Songwriter Chrisette Michele as she shares her thoughts and unique view of the world on various health disparities that affect our community. During the event guests will have the opportunity to participate in a silent auction, a chance to win a destination trip of your choice, as well as many other quality items that the New York City community has to offer. This is an event you won’t want to miss, check out all the details below and kudos to the lovely Chrisette Michele for doing her part to give back!
And if you can’t make the event there’s still a way you can help! Preserve Our Legacy, Inc.celebrates the life of three year old Jaden Hilton who lost his life because he did not have a bone marrow or stem cell donor for a lifesaving transplant. So many children and adults are unable to receive this life saving treatment that has existed for 30 years simply, because there are still not limited available donors on the national registry. We can change that, join the organization and tell Albany that it is time to pass Jaden’s Law, click here to sign the petition and support the cause.
Preserve Our Legacy, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit, whose mission is to educate individuals, especially those from various ethnic groups, about the benefits of stem cells through treatment options provided via peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC), bone marrow and umbilical cord blood donations.
