Be The Match is the world’s largest and most diverse marrow and stem cell donor registry, and facilitates all the transplants needed in the United States. Right now, they need as many people, especially people from multicultural backgrounds, to register so that patients in need can hold out hope of finding the genetically matched donor that will save their life. Patients match to donors that share their same genetic markers which is heavily influenced by one’s heritage, therefore patients and donors when matching often share the same ethnicity. Currently there are the odds for patients in finding their perfectly matched donor, obviously there is a huge disparity patients of color face, and the only way we can even these odds is by recruiting more donors from diverse backgrounds.
ECC is partnering with Be The Match on a digital campaign to recruit stem cell donors for the transplant donor registry and save those with blood disorders
