How might we increase the number of registered bone marrow donors to help save more lives?
Concept
Next time you make a B-day present, make it a Life-saving one!
Searching for a one-of-a-kind birthday present? Next time you make a b-day present, think of a Hero Gift Certificate + Registration Kit. A friend of mine mentioned today at lunch that she gave her husband as a b-day present a “Hero Gift Certificate” and a registration kit for bone marrow donation.
Note: If the person you’re giving the hero certificate to, doesn’t want to register, the money goes to the registry; so your money will not be lost….
Imagine how powerful could such a campaign be:
- those who give you the present will ask "so, what happened, did you register?"
- if you receive such a present from someone you care about, you're much more inclined to act
- if the person you're giving the present to, doesn't know much about the process, you can start a conversation
