Each registrant could be a patient's second chance at life
Set up a virtual donor drive to help us in our mission to register more potential blood stem cell donors. You can set up a virtual drive at your workplace, high school, college or just to share with your personal network.
How it works

Why we need your support
- Every 3 minutes someone in the US is diagnosed with blood cancer.
- Only 30% of patients find a matching donor within their family. 70% of patients who need a bone marrow or stem cell transplant rely on finding an unrelated donor.
- In the US over 50,000 people die from blood cancer every year
