Mission
Be The Match Foundation supports the life-saving mission of Be The Match/National Marrow Donor Program, ensuring that patients diagnosed with blood cancers such as leukemia and other diseases get the stem cell transplant they need for a second chance at life. A transplant offers hope for a cure. We connect patients with their genetically matched stem cell donors and provide comprehensive support throughout the transplant journey, from diagnosis through recovery, and we conduct medical research to improved outcomes and quality of life for transplant patients. Our patients and stem cell donors are primarily in the United States, but many donors and patients served by our mission are based internationally; at locations throughout the globe.
