Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. created the Judie B. Davis Bone Marrow Recruitment Program to recruit donors and to educate citizens of the need for donors, especially those of minority decent. Recently, my alumnae chapter included the program in our annual Youth Symposium (another national program), but Sigma's committment to educating African-Americans has been around for years.
