Swab Ambassadors play a major role in our mission to educate people about stem cell donation, help patients find life-saving matches, and recruit more diverse donors. It only takes a few hours of your time each month, but it can make a huge difference.
Swab Drives Committee
The Swab Drives Committee plays a vital role in organizing, coordinating, and promoting our on- and off-campus Swab drives. This committee ensures that every drive runs smoothly, from logistical planning to the outreach efforts needed to engage the community. Members of this team work on the front lines of recruitment, actively reaching out to potential donors and encouraging them to join the stem cell registry.
If you're passionate about proactive recruitment, enjoy interacting with people, and want to make a meaningful impact by swabbing new donors, this is the perfect committee for you! You'll help save lives by growing the registry and raising awareness about the importance of stem cell donation.
Stand Up For Diversity Committee
Our Stand Up For Diversity committee is dedicated to giving Swab Talk presentations in front of ethnically diverse audiences. The goal is to collaborate with ethnic or cultural groups on and off campus to raise awareness about stem cell donation and register as many ethnically diverse donors as possible.
Swab Talks are short presentations (15-20 minutes) during which we talk about stem cell donation from A to Z and the lack of diversity in the global registry. If you like community outreach and public speaking, this is the committee for you.
