Union State Bank Donor Drive
November is National Marrow Awareness Month. You can become a hero this November by registering to be a bone marrow or stem cell donor!
Union State Bank and DKMS are joining forces to help save the lives of blood cancer patients, and you can be part of it.
Why Register?
Every 27 seconds, someone in the world is diagnosed with blood cancer. For many, a blood stem cell transplant is their only chance to survive but finding a matching donor can be incredibly difficult. By joining the stem cell registry, you're adding to a global movement where every new donor increases the chances that a patient in need of a blood stem cell transplant finds their lifesaving match.
Why You?
Because you have something unique to offer: Your tissue characteristics could make you the perfect match for someone in need of a stem cell transplant.
Everyone between the ages of 18-55 in general good health, with a BMI under 40, and not already registered can sign up as a potential donor.
