A3M - Recruiting Bone Marrow Donors - 2011 Lotus Festival Day 1NEW

Background
Most people will not match anyone in their family - about 70% of cases. If someone you knew needed one, wouldn't you like to know that people were willing to help a stranger? Are you willing? Registering is very easy and only takes about 10 minutes. It requires no blood, just a simple cotton swab of the mouth.

Before you register read up on what registering entails and what the process of donating bone marrow is really like here. If you have read the information and are ready to register there are several options for you.

Register in Person at a Drive
The easiest way to register is by going to a drive that is near you. All it takes is 10 minutes to fill out the forms and take a sampling of your cheek cells to send off to the lab. You can find upcoming drives here.

Register in Person at a Local Donor Center
If you can't make it to any of the drives than you also have the option of visiting a donor center near you. We are working directly through Asians for Miracle Marrow Matches (A3M). You could go to their center (you may need to make an appointment) and get the paperwork and mouth swabs. Check out our links section to get in touch with a site near you.
You may also check out City of Hope or the National Donor Program to see if they are holding any drives or registration events.

Register by mail-in kit
It is also possible to get a kit mailed to you. If you are a minority you can get one for free here or you can contact Team Krissy or A3M to get one sent to you! If not a minority you can contact Krissy's sister-in-law Anne using the form below. She is in touch with City of Hope and getting non-minorities registered through them.
