Grow the Registry

You have the power to help

When you grow the Be The Match Registry^®, your efforts may help save the life of any patient in need of a bone marrow transplant. The donors you recruit will become part of every patient's search for a matching marrow donor. You can make a difference to patients everywhere.

Patient families are making a difference

You have the power to help save lives. Patients in need of a transplant and their families and friends have recruited many thousands of donors to the Be The Match Registry.

We have experience working with families who have many different resources, contacts and needs. We can help you harness and direct the outpouring of concern and good will that your situation inspires.

 

We can help you with:

• Event planning and coordination: Whether you want to conduct a local donor registry drive or recruit nationwide, our experienced recruiters can help you develop, organize and carry out a successful event.
• Media support: Your story is your most powerful tool. Sharing your story effectively with a large number of people is one of the best ways to get people involved. We can help you prepare to speak to the media and work with them effectively.
• Fund raising: We can help you conduct a successful fund-raising campaign to help grow the registry.
