Other Ways to Help

There are other ways that you can support the program even if you do not join the OneMatch Stem Cell and Marrow Network.

Here are some ways you can help:

Tell friends and family

• You can begin raising awareness in your community by telling your friends and family of your decision to join OneMatch.
• Ask them to visit the website to learn what donating stem cells is all about

Get your organization involved

• Are you part of an organization that wants to do more? Contact us and we can provide informational material for dissemination to all members of your organization
• Let us provide you with e-mail templates or web banners that can be posted on your website

Host an 'In Honour' blood donor clinic

• Stem cell recipients often need a large quantity of blood before and after they receive a transplant. Hosting a blood donor clinic is a great way to promote blood and stem cell donations to your friends and family

Donate blood and blood products

• Donating blood regularly is also something you can do to help, over and above joining OneMatch. Stem cell recipients often need other lifesaving blood products before and after they receive a transplant. To find a blood donor clinic near you, call 1 888 2 DONATE (1-888-236-6283) or click here.
