Summerlin Hospital has partnered with Be The Match, operated by the National Marrow Donor Program, to host a registry drive. The registry is used to find marrow “matches” for people with life-threatening blood cancers including leukemia, lymphoma and sickle cell disease. According to Be The Match, someone in the United States is diagnosed with a blood cancer every three to four minutes.

To join the registry, donors should be 18 to 40 years old, in good health and willing to donate to any patient in need. There are three ways to join the registry:

  • Stop by the drive to register and do your own 10-second check swab
  • Text SHMC to 61474 to join the registry
  • Visit BeTheMatch.org to register online and order a free check swab kit by mail
