EZRA'S DRIVE - THE GIFT OF LIFE
In addition to raising awareness and supporting the Oliva Patient Care Fund the Gift of Life will be on site as Milford Youth Football and Cheer hosts a Bone Marrow Donor Drive in support of Ezra. Ezra is a 2 year old child who is in desperate need of a bone marrow transplant. Ezra has a rare primary immune deficiency disorder called Hyper IgM Syndrome. Ezra's best chance of finding a genetically matched donor lies with those of Easter European ancestry.
