Give hope to patients across Canada by recruiting stem cell donors
Canadian Blood Services Stem Cell Registry recruits volunteer donors who can give stem cells to patients in need. With our help, you can recruit donors and give hope to patients who are searching for a matching stem cell donor.
Resources and support are available to help you recruit stem cell donors
Host your own stem cell recruitment drive
We provide free supplies, templates and support to help you host an event where people can join the registry and have their buccal (cheek) swab completed onsite.
Your event could be a turning point that matches a patient in need to their stem cell donor.
Share your story to inspire people to join the registry
Whether you're an office team, a Partners for Life team, a university student or a community group, sharing why you are recruiting stem cell donors is a powerful way to inspire others to register to donate stem cells.
Tell others about your recruitment efforts and why you’re helping. When people hear your story, they can’t help but be moved to act. Spread your message further by sharing your story and information about the stem cell registry with news and social media.
