Bring your A-game and get ready to make a difference!<\/p>\n<p>For many patients with blood cancers, a bone marrow transplant can mean the difference between life and death. But patients can\u2019t get a bone marrow transplant from just anyone \u2013 they need a match, and the chance of finding that match for Asian Americans is 20% lower than that forCaucasians. There\u2019s an unmet need, and you can help \u2013 by coming out to our flip cup tournament!<\/p>\n<p>Sign up as a team of five or as a free agent (we will pair you with teammates) and get ready to fight your way out of your bracket while supporting a great cause! We\u2019ve reserved the legendary flip cup bar, Blarney Stone, for the tournament, and representatives from NY Blood Center will be on site to assist members in signing up for the bone marrow registry (a simple and painless process). This is the beginning of a national initiative among all TAP chapters, so get thirsty!<\/p>\n<p>For more information about the event, please visit:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/tap-ny.org\/flip-cup-tournament-bone-marrow-drive\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/tap-ny.org\/flip-cup-tournament-bone-marrow-drive\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saturday, March 29, 2014, Blarney Stone 8th Ave NYC 410 8th ave, New York, New York 10001<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-39904","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-stay-connected-to-the-latest-local-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39904","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/29"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=39904"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39904\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":39907,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39904\/revisions\/39907"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=39904"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=39904"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=39904"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
