Project Life is a national movement to increase the potential pool of bone marrow and tissue donors by testing and registering college students with a simple cheek swab.
PProject Life Movement has one overall program services model. Project Life Movement (PLM) saves lives and cures diseases such as leukemia, lymphoma and sickle cell anemia by growing the number of potential bone marrow donors on the national bone marrow registry. For many patients, a bone marrow transplant is their only treatment option, and, in many cases, a bone marrow transplant can be a complete cure. 20,000 patients need transplants every year; less than half will find a match. The need is greater among minorities as they are significantly under-represented on the registry. Bottom line, there are not enough people on the registry and there is a devastating healthcare inequity for some groups. PLMs model is simple: we establish bone marrow drives on college campuses. PLM is becoming a national coalition of colleges that empowers student leaders to host drives and recruit their classmates to join the national registry. By focusing on college students, PLM targets optimal candidates for non-related bone marrow donation from both a 2 medical perspective and from an eligibility perspective. With a simple, quick cheek swab, young, healthy donors register at the youngest age possible (18) and remain on the registry for years. Our model works because we make it simple and turnkey for the students. We travel to campus with marketing materials, swab kits and educational tools. Students bring their energy and recruit their classmates. We are highly- collaborative and empower students in their volunteer service programming. In November 2018, Gift of Life became Project Life Movements new clinical partner. Be The Match, our former clinical partner ceased swabbing on college campuses on went to a on-line registry only. Gift of Life provides the swab kits and handles the adding the new registrants on the global registry.The PLM mission remains the same: to add more people to the national registry so that all patients, regardless of race, have a lifesaving bone marrow match.
