Thousands of patients with blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma, or other diseases like sickle cell, need a blood stem cell transplant to survive. Most patients don’t have a fully matched donor in their family — and that’s when they turn to Be The Match®.

By joining the Be The Match Registry®, your genetic type will be included in the search process for every patient in need of a genetically matched donor. We need registry members who are committed to helping save a life. That means being willing to donate to any patient in need, keeping your contact information up to date, and responding quickly if you are called as a potential match.

Be The Match® is hosting an in-person donor registry drive on campus at the Well-O-Ween event on Monday, October 31st from 11:30 - 1 pm at the Perry Field House. Well-O-Ween is hosted by the Department of Recreation and Wellness. To learn more about our programs, follow up on Twitter and Instagram at @BGSURecWell.
