HOSA SERVICE PROJECT

HOSA SERVICE PROJECT: NMDP

Over the decades, Be The Match has been known by a few names, like Be The Match® or the National Marrow Donor Program®. Today, they move forward as NMDP—one name that not only captures the breadth of everything they do today, but their ambitions for tomorrow.

They are creating a world where blood cancer and disorders are a thing of the past. Their name has changed, but their mission has not: We save lives through cell therapy.

LOOKING FOR SWAB EVENT MATERIALS?
You watched the swab event training webinar, you’ve planned your event and you’re ready to host, what’s next? First, make sure your chapter team page is registered and you have a join keyword for your chapter. During registration, you can use a join keyword from last year or request a new one. Once your chapter team page and join keyword are finalized, all you need to do is contact your local Be The Match Representative and ask them to send you materials. If you don’t know your Be The Match Representative, please reach out to us at hosa@nmdp.org.
