Host a Registration Drive
Every bone marrow drive starts with one person who decides to act. That person could be you.
What Is a Registration Drive?
A registration drive is an event where people can join their local bone marrow registry on the spot. Participants complete a brief health questionnaire and provide a painless cheek swab. The entire process takes about ten minutes.
That single action places them in a global database of potential donors — ready to be matched with a patient whose life depends on finding someone like them.
Who Can Host?
Anyone with a venue and a willingness to spread the word.
Schools and Universities
Host a drive during orientation, homecoming, or a health fair. College-age donors are ideal — young, healthy, and on the registry for decades.
Workplaces
Organize a lunch-hour drive or incorporate registration into a wellness event. Many employers support volunteer initiatives with matching gifts.
Faith Communities
Add a registration table before or after services. Many congregations have embraced drives as an extension of their commitment to serving others.
Sports Teams and Clubs
Gyms, leagues, and athletic organizations bring together healthy, active individuals — exactly who registries need.
Families and Individuals
Honor a loved one, celebrate a milestone, or simply take action. Living room drives, backyard gatherings, and community events all count.

Important: How Registration Works
All drive registrations funnel through jadabascomfoundation.org. When participants are ready to register:
- They visit our website or scan a QR code you provide
- They select their country to find their local registry
- They complete registration through their official national registry
- We track the impact of your drive
This ensures registrations are processed correctly and your impact is measured.
