*We focus on recruiting new registry members ages 18 to 40. Less than half of potential donors on the Be The Match Registry® are in the 18-35 age group. However, doctors request donors in the 18-35 age group nearly 75% of the time. That’s because research shows cells from younger donors lead to more successful transplants.
• More young donors are needed to join the Be The Match Registry® to help patients.
If you are 41 and older you will not be able to join the member registry, but we still need your help. You could volunteer, donate monetarily, and help us spread the word.
*Note: your registration is not complete until your swab kit has been received.

When it comes to matching human leukocyte antigen (HLA) types, a patient’s ethnic background is important in predicting the likelihood of finding a match. This is because HLA markers used in matching are inherited. Some ethnic groups have more complex tissue types than others. So a person’s best chance of finding a donor may be with someone of the same ethnic background.
