Donate

Be The Match® and Aflac are teaming up to help save lives!

Here's how you can help:

JOIN THE REGISTRY
If you’re between the ages of 18-40 and willing to donate blood stem cells, all it takes is a simple cheek swab to join the registry.

SUPPORT THE CAUSE
Give a gift to help add donors to the registry, help patients with uninsured costs and fund life-saving research.

BE AN ADVOCATE
Make your voice heard through legislation, volunteerism or by helping to grow the registry.

 

Did you know that if you or someone you love is in need of a life-saving bone marrow transplant, there is only about a 30% chance they will have a fully matched donor in their family? That means that 70% of people in need rely on Be The Match for an unrelated donor. Every year, 12,000 patients are diagnosed with life-threatening blood cancers or blood diseases like sickle cell for which a blood stem cell or marrow transplant from an unrelated donor may be their best option for a second chance at life. They depend on Be The Match—and the kindness of people like you—to find a genetically suitable match.

Through this partnership, we will grow the Be The Match Registry®️, raise lifesaving funds, amplify awareness and comfort pediatric cancer patients with the inclusion of My Special Aflac Duck®️ in informational and care packages. This soft and cuddly companion helps children prepare for medical procedures, communicate their feelings, practice distraction techniques and so much more. Learn more about this program.
