Join Jordana: Join Be The Match

Donate

Every year, 12,000 patients are diagnosed with life-threatening blood cancers or blood diseases like sickle cell for which a blood stem cell or marrow transplant from an unrelated donor may be their best option for a second chance at life. They depend on Be The Match—and the kindness of people like you—to find a genetically suitable match.  

In Spring 2022, Jordana Green, WCCO Radio Talk-Show Host and former TV News Anchorwoman is walking through her own transplant journey as doctors recommend a blood stem cell transplant to cure her October 2020 Leukemia diagnosis. Thankfully, she has two potential donor matches on the Be The Match Registry®. But Jordana knows that is not the case for everyone, and she is asking all of us to help her find more donors and raise more funds. Here's how you can help:

JOIN THE REGISTRY
If you’re between the ages of 18-40 and willing to donate blood stem cells, all it takes is a simple cheek swab to be someone's cure.*

GIVE NOW 
Your gift can add new life-saving donors to the registry, assist patients with uninsured transplant costs, and fund groundbreaking research.

FUNDRAISE
Join Team Be The Match. Every dollar you raise goes to support patients and their families as they navigate a bone marrow or blood stem cell transplant.

VOLUNTEER
Join the thousands of volunteers who selflessly give their time and talent to support patients get their cure—a blood stem cell transplant from a matching donor.

 

*Please know that due to medical breakthroughs donating your stem cells is often a non-surgical procedure similar to donating plasma!

Visit our Employer Matching Gift Finder to see if your company will match your gift and to access the forms, guidelines, and instructions you need to submit a matching gift. Together we’ll make a life-saving difference.
