For our patients and their families, receiving a cancer or blood disorder diagnosis can feel isolating and lonely. However, knowing Be The Match is an organization they can depend on can transform those emotions into hope. Our mission is to save lives through cellular therapy, and that means we strive to ensure every single patient in need of a lifesaving transplant or cell therapy receives it. The patient’s background, ancestry, financial situation, whatever it might be—does not matter. We will be there for every single patient in need. The Be The Match Gala raises critical funds to ensure patients can access a second chance at life. While a blood stem cell transplant can provide a second chance at life for thousands of patients each year, the financial toll can prevent some patients from moving forward with treatment. Many families find their insurance doesn’t cover all the costs associated with transplant, such as travel and lodging when the transplant center is far from home, lost wages, and more. Financial costs continue to be the #1 burden or barrier reported by patients who come to us needing a transplant. Your donation will help raise funds for patients in need of Transplant Recovery Grants, helping their families with uninsured and ongoing costs after transplant. The Be The Match Gala raises critical funds to ensure patients can access a second chance at life. Together, we can defeat blood cancers and other blood disorders.
