Not enough are listening ...we need you

BECOME A WARRIOR

Our mission is "CODE RED"  
Their lives matter now and
patients need blood to survive

DONATE BLOOD #1171

OUR CURE LIVES HERE
SO SHOULD OUR MESSAGE

Our principal strategy uses three platforms to reach our age demographic for bone marrow and stem cell donors. However we need your help through public funding to breach the walls of social indifference and media warfare with a new message. "CODE RED LIVES MATTER" 
Our message gives a patient an opportunity of survival, and has the potential to change current day narrative and infiltrate the younger generation who live and breath through social media.  Grit & Grace is the Code Red message and a badge to wear proudly and with honor. It's time to feed mainstream media a new hash tag of hope and survival; penetrate the minds and conversations of today.  Help us spotlight our patients into the "LIVES MATTER" rebellion.  Help us shine a light on patients behind hospital walls who don't have a voice in LIVES MATTER.

WHILE OUR FIGHTERS LIVE HERE
WAITING FOR A MATCH

Childhood cancers are increasing at a rate of 6% each year and leukemia is the third leading killer in children. Over 45,000 people will be diagnosed this year; killing half of the adults and an estimated 1,100 children. Patients have a 30% chance of matching a relative. No match is certain death. This is unacceptable in today's world of technology and lightning fast communication. Statistics show only 3% of the world population is registered. Traditional tactics are labor intensive and the attention span of Millennials and Gen Z is reduced to 240 characters.  We need to change the message.  Our Foundation is on a mission to do just that with your help.  We aren't about research or status symbols; we're responding to the CODE RED call of lives that need saving.   Our mission is finding blood donors and bone marrow/stem cell registrants now.
