Ethnicity is crucial when matching patients with donors. Due to the severe shortage of ethnic minorities in the Be The Match Registry, ethnic and diverse patients are less likely to find a matching donor. Descent of Asian Pacific Islander, African American, Hispanic/ Latino, Native Indian and mixed race are highly encouraged to register.

The total cost to add a new member to the Be The Match Registry is about $100. This includes the cost of the testing needed to match donors to searching patients and related costs. AADP has secured some funding to cover the cost of your registration fee, we still rely on financial contributions to help cover the costs of adding members to the registry. Your contribution will make it possible for more people like you to join in the future. Every gift helps make life-saving transplants a reality for more patients. Please consider making a tax deductable contribution .

Am I ready to be a committed donor?

I’m willing to:

- Donate to any patient in need.

- Give blood sample as needed.

- Make time commitment when I am a match.

- Update my contact information.
