Did you know that 4,864 unrelated and 4,160 related bone marrow and cord blood transplants were performed in the United States throughout 2020 (HRSA)? These donations save lives, just like organ donation.

Because we love saving lives at SODA, we encourage our students to learn more about bone marrow and stem cell donation! Check out this guide:

This guide was created by our friends at Gift of Life. Gift of Life gives people a second chance at life — just like us — by managing a registry for stem cell and bone marrow donors and coordinating transplants to treat life-threatening illnesses, including leukemia, lymphoma, other cancers and genetic diseases.

Check out the resources below to learn more about stem cell and bone marrow donation, and consider partnering with their Campus Ambassadors to host a registration drive!
