Volunteers are needed to fill shifts on all three days for our annual Marrow Donor Registration Drive at the Garlic Festival. The shifts are 9:30 am-1:30 pm and 1:30 pm-6:00 pm each day.
If you can help out, please indicate what day & time would work for you.
Volunteers will greet attendees, hand out information on how to join the Be The Match registry, show potential registry members how to perform a cheek swab, or other tasks as needed. We are especially looking for volunteers who would be comfortable talking to festival attendees and drawing donors into the drive while being out in the heat!
For more information, contact Frances Lee @ (510) 239-9529 or frances.lee@ndmp.org.
Volunteers receive free admission into the Festival and are also eligible to park in the Volunteer Parking lot (if there is still space available) at no cost.
Be The Match connects patients with blood cancers to a life-saving marrow or umbilic al cord blood transplant. Your support will provide cures!

Mission Statement
We save lives through cell therapy. At NMDP (formerly known as Be The Match), we believe each of us holds the key to curing blood cancers and disorders. As a global nonprofit leader in cell therapy, NMDP creates essential connections between researchers and supporters to inspire action and accelerate innovation to find life-saving cures. With the help of blood stem cell donors from the world’s most diverse registry and our extensive network of transplant partners, physicians and caregivers, we’re expanding access to treatment so that every patient can receive their life-saving cell therapy.
Description
For patients with blood cancers like Leukemia and Lymphoma, and other life-threatening diseases, a cure exists. We are the world's leading nonprofit organization focused on saving lives through marrow and umbilical cord blood transplantation
When you volunteer with NMDP, you are helping blood cancer and blood disease patients get their cure - a blood stem cell transplant from a matching donor. As a volunteer, you can truly impact the lives of patients and their families. Last year, volunteers gave nearly 125,000 hours of their time. This commitment is vital to the life-saving work at NMDP. By working together, we create a chain reaction of good and positivity in our communities and cultures. Every volunteer opportunity at NMDP helps make a difference.
