We are the first Black-led Canadian charity that addresses the under-representation of Black stem cell donors in Canada. We are on a mission to support, care for, and help save the lives of leukemia patients and others suffering from blood disorders by increasing the Black donor pool in Canada's national stem cell registry.
Why donate stem cells?
It’s critical to have more black and other minority donors in Canada's stem cell registry so that this increases the chance of survival for patients of all ethnic backgrounds who need a stem transplant.
< 25%

1.87%
Currently 1.87% of Blacks are registered registered stem cell donors in the Canada's national stem cell registry.
