Digital Toolkit

Every day, 17,000 blood cancer and disorder patients need a transplant and 70% must look outside their family for an unrelated donor. Thank you for your efforts to add more potential lifesavers to the registry - providing more second chances for patients worldwide!

This digital toolkit is here to assist you with pre-event resources, as well as tools for the day of your drive. If you have any questions during your drive, these materials are here to support you, but your drive coach will be available to answer any questions that pop up along the way.

Pre Drive:

We appreciate your interest in hosting a drive with DKMS! Your efforts will help us find lifesaving donors for those in need of stem cell and bone marrow transplants. To ensure your drive's success, we've included a comprehensive pre-drive guide. This guide features social media tips and a training video to help you capture and share high-quality content across various platforms.

We are excited to support you in making a significant impact!
