How might we increase the number of registered bone marrow donors to help save more lives?
Concept
Sweeten the Deal - The swab becomes a lollipop
Watching someone with the bone marrow swab reminded me of someone eating a lollipop. What if the swab broke in 2 and one end was a lollipop. So you get a sweetener in the deal.
Also associates the sweetness of lollipops with the act of donation and serves as a nice reminder.
