15,000 Americans are currently searching for matching blood stem cell donors/bone marrow donors for a second chance at life. The mission of Earl Young’s Team is to increase awareness of the need for more donors to register to potentially supply blood stem cells or bone marrow to patients in need of donors and to increase the number of volunteers who register to provide second chances at life to patients in need. To date, Earl Young's Team has added over 25,000 people to the donor pool; 129 people have gone through the donation process to give patients in need of a donor a second chance at life.
The mission of Earl Young’s Team is to increase awareness for the need for more donors to potentially supply blood stem cells to patients in need of donors and to increase the number of volunteers who register to provide second chances at life to patients in need.
Earl Young's Team seeks continued support to inspire more young potential donors to register as new blood stem cell donors resulting in providing second chances at life. Anyone in good health and between the ages of 18-55 can register as a potential donor. The best patient outcomes are from young (18-30yo) donors. We work primarily with college/university students to raise awareness and register new young donors on campus. Funds raised will go toward our costs to host more donor drives on college/university campuses. To order a free at-home swab kit, go to www.dkms.org/EarlYoungsTeam
