Celtics Rally for Ed Lacerte: Join Blood Drive
Update: 2025-12-16
Description
The Boston Celtics are rallying around their long-time athletic trainer, Ed Lacerte, who was recently diagnosed with leukemia. The team is hosting blood stem cell donor registry drives at upcoming home games to help find a potential match. Fans attending the games on December fifteenth, nineteenth, and twenty-second can join the national registry by swabbing their cheeks. Ed Lacerte, a three-time recipient of the Joe OToole NBA Athletic Trainer of the Year award, has made a significant impact on the sport. This initiative is crucial as every three to four minutes, someone in the US is diagnosed with a blood cancer. A blood stem cell transplant can be life-saving, and finding a match is more likely with a diverse registry. Fans between eighteen and thirty-five are especially encouraged to participate.
