Be the Match Donor Registry Drive

Enter through the parking garage on the second floor.

Be the Match focuses on recruiting new bone marrow registry members, especially ages 18 to 35. This is based on medical research that shows younger donors are best for patients and provide the greatest chance for transplant success. Doctors request donors in the 18 to 35 age group 75% of the time.
