The Fairmont State University Rugby Club and the Office of Student Affairs will host a bone marrow drive Wednesday.

The "Give a Spit and Help Save Lives" drive will be on the second floor of the Falcon Center from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Health workers will swab the inside of participants' cheeks with Q-tips and match them to leukemia or blood cancer patients.

People aged 18 to 24 are in the highest demand but the program will accept donors up to 44 years old.
