Registration is FREE and PAINLESS! It only requires a CHEEK SWAB!
To join, you only need to be:

If you would like to volunteer for the event, please email umkcapamsa@umkc.edu

The Bone Marrow Donor Registration Drive is held annually to register potential bone marrow donors. It's a simple process. Fill out some paperwork, watch a short video, and get blood drawn. Quick and painless. We try to register as many people as possible. And if you've already registered, updating your information will count towards our goal!

Nationally, APAMSA has registered thousands of new marrow donors.
