Be The Match is a nonprofit organization managed by the National Marrow Donor Program and facilitates the largest and most diverse bone marrow registry in the world. They help cancer patients across the world through donations and transplants. Joining the registry and potentially donating marrow can save the life of someone in need.
HOSA’s National Service Project for 2020-2022 is Be The Match. This means that HOSA is working with Be The Match to raise awareness and get potential donors registered through the Nebraska HOSA Network. You can participate in the National Service Project and Be The Match by joining the registry, fundraising individually or as a chapter, volunteering, donating, and through advocacy. As more information regarding HOSA and Be The Match is released, we will cover it!
