Great Turnout at Passport for Taiwan!

We had a great turnout this year at Passport to Taiwan.
Several NATMA 2G members volunteered at our booth. We registered 30+ individuals during our bone marrow drive, and raised awareness amongst Asian Americans about this important health care topic. Thanks to everyone who came out!
