Be The Match Registry, operated by the National Marrow Donor Program, finds matches for bone marrow and blood stem cell transplants for patients suffering from leukemia, lymphoma and other life-threatening blood diseases. Our goal is to educate and register new members from a wide range of ethnic and racial backgrounds, in order to give patients a better chance of finding a match. Even with a registry of millions, many patients cannot find a match. Donors with diverse racial or ethnic backgrounds are especially needed. Seventy percent of patients do not have a donor in their family so they rely on the registry to find an unrelated marrow donor. There are many ways you can help including:
Host a marrow drive at your home, church, school or in your community to add more donors to the registry. It costs Be The Match Registry $100 to add each new registry member, so we are always looking for help with fundraising to support our program. We always need helping hands to support our efforts in various ways. You have the power to heal, the power to save a life.
