Organize a Bone Marrow Donor Drive

JOIN DKMS IN GROWING THE NUMBER OF BONE MARROW DONORS.

Every day thousands of patients are searching for a life-saving bone marrow donor. Your efforts may help save the life of patients in need of a bone marrow transplant. The donors you recruit will become part of every patient's search for a donor match. YOU can make a difference.

Patients families and friends, even those who are not personally affected by leukemia, have helped DKMS recruit bone marrow donors so more hope can be given to searching patients.

We have great experience working with families who have many different resources, contacts and needs. DKMS has organized thousands of bone marrow donor drives and added more than 2 million donors that appear on the Be The Match Registry, making DKMS the largest bone marrow donor center in the world. DKMS recruits hundreds and even thousands of donors per drive.

WHAT'S INVOLVED

Plan and coordinate: Our experienced donor recruiters can help you plan, develop and carry out a local bone marrow drive or a national effort.

Contact the Media: Your story is the most powerful tool in getting people involved. So, sharing it with a large number of people will ensure a successful event. We can help you prepare to speak to the press and work with them effectively.

Fundraise: DKMS does not receive government funding so we rely on the generosity of individuals to help finance the $65 tissue-typing cost for each new donor who registers. We can help you come up with successful fundraising ideas. EVERY DOLLAR COUNTS! And, every dollar raised will be used to register bone marrow donors.

GET STARTED. Call DKMS at 1.866.340.DKMS(3567) or send an e-mail to info@dkmsamericas.org
