We named ourselves Swab a Cheek, Save a Life, because it is that simple to enroll in the donor registry. Until recently, a blood test was required; now, all it takes is a simple swab of the inside of your cheek to be registered. Then someday, YOU could be called to save someone’s life.

Why Do We Need More Minority Donors?
Most often, bone marrow transplant patients need a donor who is of the same ethnic or racial background. BUT, minorities are drastically underrepresented in the bone marrow registry. Tragically, most adults and children from diverse backgrounds cannot get the life-saving bone marrow transplant they need because there is no match for them in the registry. More minority donors are desperately needed.
