Be the Match On Campus CNU

Be the Match On Campus CNU Be the Match On Campus is part of the National Marrow Donor Program. Our group at CNU holds drives, educates the public, and fundraises to save lives.

Be the Match On Campus at Christopher Newport University is part of the national program, Be the Match in partner with the National Marrow Donor Program. The national organization pairs patients, often with blood-diseases and in need of bone marrow, with potential bone marrow donors. As an on campus chapter at CNU, our organization holds drives to register potential donors, educates the public on new methods of donating bone marrow and the different types of blood diseases, and fundraises for proceeds to go towards research, patients, doctors, and transplants. The chapter at CNU was originally founded by sisters Kelsey and Jocelyn Rooks. The first drive held in March 2009 at CNU was inspired by Bruce, a neighbor diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. The club was named: In Memory of CBC: Be the Match! It was officially an organization in Spring 2011. In Spring 2013, the organization was renamed Be the Match On Campus as an official chapter of the national Be the Match organization.

100 likes! Even though our CNU chapter is the smallest chapter in Virginia, over the past four years we have registered over hundreds of students to the National Bone Marrow Registry! We have even had a handful of Captains match with patients on the waiting list!

We hope that this year we can continue to contribute to growing the donor list and help families around the globe. Your help has been outstanding and we owe our success to all of the CNU students that have volunteered with us and joined the registry.

Thank you!

Hey everyone! I hope that everyone is enjoying this great summer weather!

Even though school is out, Be The Match still needs your help! For the rest of the summer, we hope that you will help us sign up more people to the registry and with donations so that patients can get the life-saving treatment they deserve. In 2015, more than $3.4 million dollars was given in patient assistance grants to help more than 2,000 families afford transplants. Let's by helping even more families!

Hey Captains! Do you ever wonder what the donation process is really like? Do you still need a PLP passport event? Well, you're in luck!

Join us at The Giant Needle Myth presentation next Thursday to find out what it means to be a donor and how signing up really saves lives! Our list of speakers include people who have actually gone through the donation process, received a transplant, and work for Be The Match!

And if you missed us in March, you can sign up for the registry after the speakers!
