Bone Marrow Testing Drive

2/12/2018

0 Comments

 
 When a family member is stricken with leukemia or another blood-related disease, a bone marrow transplant is sometimes recommended as the best chance for a cure. Usually, family members are tested first to determine if one of them would be a suitable donor.
RBF can help you organize a successful drive through a variety of ways, including:
  • Helping you find the nearest donor center for your drive (which can typically be found at www.bethematch.org).
  • Determine the type of setting in which your drive will be: at a corporate workplace? At a community event? Is it its own event?
  • Who will fund the drive? Testing costs vary, so you should contact the nearest donor center to find out what the cost per donor will be.
  • Choose several possible dates. The date you want has to be coordinated with the schedule of the donor center and other involved in its sponsorship.
  • Organize volunteers to help out at the drive.
  • Approach local business about donating small items that may be given as tokens of appreciation to those who are tested.
  • RBF will help you publicize the drive, as well, to ensure the maximum exposure for a successful event.
  • RBF will provide you with literature and information about bone marrow testing available for the day of the drive
