Find a Donor Drive

Bone marrow donor drives are one of the most important ways we build our network of donors. It provides you the opportunity to learn more about us and often times meet the family of patients. You can be part of our lifesaving effort by attending a donor drive and doing a simple cheek swab to register. It's that simple.

Just ten minutes of your time can help give a blood cancer patient a second chance at life.

Get Swabbed. Save a Life.

Get Swabbed. Save a Life. is a national campaign where students join forces to help save lives by organizing bone marrow donor drives and raising awareness of the need for more people to register as donors.

DKMS thanks the students and faculty for their continued support of our mission to save lives.
