Leukemia kills more children every year than any other disease
There's no easier way to potentially save a life than to join DoSomething.org and Be the Match's Give A Spit About Cancer campaign and give your spit!
Every year, only 30% of patients in need of a bone marrow transplant can find a match within their family. The other 70% rely on complete strangers. 60% of patients never received the donation they need. Now's your chance to decrease these percentages and possibly save a life.
How it works:
1. College students lead local donor registration drives on their school campuses
2. DoSomething.org and Be the Match help the students organize their drives by shipping free of charge swab kits containing all of the materials needed to register 200+ new donors
3. Be the Match provides free-of-charge bone marrow typing for all participants
4. Be entered to win prizing and scholarships!
