Post #24 Sponsoring Bone Marrow Registry Drive
This year the post is sponsoring a bone marrow registry drive in conjunction with the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP).
The NMDP does vital work in ensuring that individuals with life-threatening blood and marrow cancers and diseases can receive the life sustaining treatment they need. Every year, 18,000 patients are diagnosed with life-threatening blood cancers or other blood disorders that could be cured or treated with a blood stem cell transplant. But 70% of them don't have a fully matched donor in their family. They depend on NMDP to find an unrelated donor.
By sponsoring a Bone Marrow Donor Registry Drive in 2025, Post #24 will be helping ensure that more individuals can get the life saving care they need. A very nice article was published in the Canton Citizen on our efforts (click here). If you would like more information to participate in this effort, please contact Darren at dbbeem@gmail.com
To register for the bone marrow registry you must be between the ages of 18-40. If you wish to sign up for the bone marrow donor registry, please use the below QR Code or you may or text CantonAL24 to 61474.
Once you register, they will have some additional questions for you and they will send you a free swab kit. If you are over age 40, although you may not be able to be placed on the Registry, there are other ways to be involved and we encourage you to use the code and they will provide you with more information.
