Thank you to the Andy Talley Foundation and the Get In The Game college athletics recruitment program, which has led to more than 800 unrelated donors giving blood stem cells or bone marrow to help cure patients battling leukemia, sickle cell disease and other life-threatening blood diseases.

About Be The Match® 

For people with life-threatening blood cancers—like leukemia and lymphoma—or other diseases, a cure exists. Be The Match connects patients with their donor match for a life-saving marrow or umbilical cord blood transplant. People can contribute to the cure as a member of the Be The Match Registry®, financial contributor or volunteer. Be The Match provides patients and their families one-on-one support, education, and guidance before, during and after transplant. ​ Be The Match is operated by the National Marrow Donor Program® (NMDP), a nonprofit organization that matches patients with donors, educates health care professionals and conducts research through its research program, CIBMTR® (Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research®), so more lives can be saved. To learn more about the cure, visit BeTheMatch.org or call 1-(800)-MARROW-2.
