Asian for Miracle Marrow Matches (A3M)
Accepting the Award on Sunday, 11/5/17 at 1:40 pm is Susan Choi, Director
Asians for Miracle Marrow Matches (A3M) operates under the 501(c)(3) non-profit umbrella of the LTSC Community Development Corporation and is a recruitment center for the Be the Match Registry.
Asians for Miracle Marrow Matches’ (A3M) mission is to improve the health and welfare of patients with leukemia and other blood cancers by educating and recruiting potential donors into the National Registry and providing patient support services. For many of our patients with blood cancers, a blood stem cell or marrow transplant is their last hope and only treatment option. Over the past 26 years, A3M has recruited over 260,000 donors and over 600 have moved forward to donate their marrow and blood stem cells to save a life. A3M’s primary focus is to recruit potential donors from minority communities, as these communities have low donor recruitment rates and donor-patient matches are ethnically specific.
