Be someone’s perfect match this Valentine’s Day by registering to be a bone marrow donor.
Every THREE minutes someone is diagnosed with blood cancer like Leukemia. Thousands of patients will need a bone marrow transplant to survive. 70% of patients in need of a bone marrow transplant do not have a fully matched donor in their family.
If you are between the ages of 18 – 44 and meet the criteria listed here please consider taking the time to register. A simple, self-administered, cheek swab and two minutes of your time is all that is required to potentially save a life. You are only contacted if you are a potential match.
Suiter Swantz IP, along with Be The Match®, will host a bone marrow registry drive in our office, Wednesday, February 14th from 11 am – 2 pm. Valentine’s Day treats will be provided.
If you are unable to attend, but would still like to register, click here between February 14 – March 31 and a swab kit will be mailed to you.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact Emily Benke at 402-496-0300 or eib@suiter.com. To learn more about the bone marrow registry and Be the Match® visit their website at www.BeTheMatch.org
