For the past four years, head football coach Pete Rossmando and the Blue Devil football program have teamed up with the Be The Match Program to add more than 750 CCSU students, faculty and staff to the national bone marrow registry. This past year they got word that one of the people they had signed up had been chosen as a match.
Junior linebacker Mike Mushaw (http://www.ccsubluedevils.com/sports/fball/2017-18/bios/mushaw_mike_0zo7) was recently selected as a match, and this summer he will donate his marrow to help save the life of someone he has never met.
Mike Anthony from the Hartford Courant chronicle's the story here:

CCSU football has joined the efforts of Villanova football head coach Andy Talley to raise awareness of the need for marrow donors and helping patients receive life-saving transplants. Talley and others have helped recruit thousands of potential donors to the registry by encouraging their football players, other students and their peers on other teams to sign up, along with friends, family and teachers. Last year alone, close to 10,000 people joined the Be The Match Registry through Get in the Game. Save A Life. donor registry drives.
