Helping the BloodCenter of WI save Lives

Donations being put to good work.  The BloodCenter of WI received a check for $5,000 this week from the organization Lindsay’s Voice / Trees of Hope WI to help add more people to the National Marrow Donor Registry (Be The Match) 
Patients fighting blood cancers: Leukemia, Lymphoma, Myeloma and other diseases such as sickle cell anemia, etc. are in need of getting a bone marrow transplant.  Finding the perfect match can be very difficult.  Having more people of all ethnic backgrounds on the registry raises the chances the patients have of finding a match.
