I just discovered these now, so nearby Californians have got about half a day to go and/or tell their friends. If you were planning on catching a matinee with some friends, make an evening of it: register, have an early dinner, then see the movie.

The drives are for 2-year-old leukemia patient Tatiana Vaitai. As she is Tongan, they are particularly looking for Asians and Pacific Islanders. But as we always stress, anyone could be a match.

From the Times-Herald:

What: Asian American bone marrow donor drive
When: 12 to 3:30 p.m., Saturday
