Be the Match – Bone Marrow Donation
Did you know that 70% of patients in need of a transplant don’t have a matching blood stem cell donor within their family? For individuals diagnosed with blood cancers such as leukemia and lymphoma, or other serious illnesses, a bone marrow transplant may be their best or only chance at survival. The National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) campaign works to expand the registry of potential donors to help save lives. If you’re between the ages of 18 and 40 and meet specific health requirements, you can sign up to join the donor registry today. The vast majority—about 90%—of donations involve a non-surgical blood stem cell collection, similar to giving blood. It’s a simple act that could make a life-changing difference.

Donate Blood
The United States is currently facing a national blood shortage—the most severe in over ten years. Donated blood plays a vital role in saving lives, from emergency care for trauma patients to ongoing treatments like cancer-related transfusions. Right now, all blood types are urgently needed, with a critical demand for type O positive, O negative, and platelet donations. A single 15-minute donation can help save as many as three lives.
