Players and coaches of the Southern Ohio Soccer Clubs will work together to support both the clubs and Be The Match®.
Be The Match helps patients receive the marrow or umbilical cord blood transplant they need. Every year, more than 10,000 patients are diagnosed with life-threatening diseases such as leukemia or lymphoma for which a marrow or cord blood transplant from an unrelated donor may be their best or only hope for a cure.
Most patients (about 70 percent) in need of a transplant do not have a matching donor in their family. They depend on the Be The Match Registry® to find an unrelated donor or cord blood unit.
Your gift to Be The Match FoundationSM in support of the Be The Match Soccer Marowthon will add more potential marrow donors to the registry, increasing the chances that more patients find their marrow match.
