Chifor is a 33-year-old woman from Reghin, Romania who was recently diagnosed with leukemia and is in desperate need of a stem cell transplant.

Potential donors are invited to provide a swab at the OneMatch booth that will be set up.

At the same time, the event itself, which is dubbed United We Move Mountains a Day of Health will include family entertainment organized by Chifors supporters.

The 2 p.m. fundraiser for Chifor will feature zumba, crafts, face painting, yoga and salsa. Its intended to be a fun event with plenty of childrens activities.
