Description: The Asian American Donor Program (AADP) is hosting marrow/stem cell registration drive in the bay area. AADP will be registering individuals from the community to be volunteer bone marrow/stem cell donors. Volunteer donors have the opportunity to save a life by donating their marrow/stem cell to patients who have been diagnosed with a life threatening blood disease such as leukemia or lymphoma.
It only takes 10 minutes to register as a donor by completing a registration form and a buccal swab kit.
Volunteers will be trained and educated in:
Importance of registering ethnic bone marrow/stem cell donors.
Process of the bone marrow/stem cell registration drive.
Handing out informational flyers to the community.
Trained in using "swab kits".
