Imagine a world where a single match could save a life - a world where hope is no longer a distant dream for those battling rare blood disorders. At Get Redd Foundation, it is our belief that no family should face this journey alone, and no patient should have to wait for the treatment they deserve. Our mission is simple yet powerful: to ignite hope through ACTION!
We believe in the power of expression - in finding hope, resiliance and community through the arts. By integrating dancing and performance into our outreach, we create a space where patients and families can find solace, strength, and a voice. Movement becomes a metaphor for their fight, a way to communicate the urgency of our cause and to spark meaningful change.
At Get Redd Foundation, we harness the healing and uniting power of dance to support individuals battling rare blood disorders, bone marrow transplants, and serious illnesses. Get Redd Foundation is bridging the gap between diagnosis and cure, empowering families to move from isolation to action, from despair to hope - both through science and the universal language of dance and arts.

Run a Donor Recruitment Drive! One of the best ways to help build a more diverse registry is to run a donor recruitment drive at your business, school, place of worship, or in your community. Gift of Life will give you the training, materials, and support to get your drive organized and to publicize it. What happens at a drive? You set up a table where people can complete a swab kit and register to join Gift of Life. Every swab kit from a potential donor could be someone who saves a life! Please contact Donor Recruitment Director Chris Camacho to get started, email: ccamacho@giftoflife.org, direct line: 561-982-2904.
Sponsor a swab kit. Click on the orange "Give to My Circle" button. Lab processing of every kit to add a donor to the registry costs $60. Your contribution will help test new donors, who may be a match for a patient now or in the future.
