Partnering with Businesses to Impact Communities

The team at Facebook held "Swab at Your Job" drives in-house so their staff could join Gift of Life Marrow Registry and help their communities. At a "Swab at Your Job" event, people are signing up to join Gift of Life Marrow Registry at a table covered in swab kits and pens. A diverse group of office staff, including one in a Gift of Life shirt, are smiling at the camera after a presentation about stem cell and marrow donation at their office. A young lady is signing up to join Gift of Life's marrow registry by completing the health questionnaire on a laptop computer.

Giving your employees the chance to join the registry is a great way to show your company’s support for those in your community who are battling blood cancer, sickle cell, inherited immune disorders, and related diseases.

Many life-threatening conditions can be cured through the miracle of blood stem cell transplants. Donating is a simple outpatient procedure similar to donating plasma or platelets. More than 90% of today’s donations are for blood stem cells, and less than 10% are for marrow, usually requested for infants and children.

We will set your firm up for success!

  • All educational and registration materials provided by Gift of Life
  • We will train staff members to run the drive
  • We will help you promote the drive within your company
  • We create a Donor Circle for your firm, to track in real time how many have joined the registry, how many matches for patients are found, and how many lifesaving transplants are completed. You will receive email updates in real time.
  • Other publicity options include press releases, stories about your donors on our website, and possibly articles in your local media.

To get started, please contact Director of Development Robyn Malek, rmalek@giftoflife.org, or 561-982-2956.

 

Corporate Partners

I want to thank CBRE because it’s very gratifying when you work with a company of 78,000 employees that they would drill down deep enough to care about one particular employee’s cause. But that isn’t why they did it, they really bought into how important this cause is.

Stephen B. Siegel - CBRE
Chairman of Global Brokerage
