As a global nonprofit leader in cell therapy, NMDP creates essential connections between researchers and supporters to inspire action and accelerate innovation to find life-saving cures.

Patrick HanleyGUEST
so when I joined in 2013, we basically were not shipping any product anyway.
Patrick HanleyGUEST
Sometimes we were receiving products from the National Marrow Donor Program, but generally there was no shipment involved in that team.
Patrick HanleyGUEST
Last year, we shipped out 90 products.
Patrick HanleyGUEST
And that's because of all these gene therapies, and they all require multiple shipments.
Amy HardyGUEST
This is another organization that has been amazing.
Amy HardyGUEST
It used to be called Be The Match, and I can never remember their new name.
Amy HardyGUEST
[laughs] It's like the, I don't know.
Amy HardyGUEST
It's the bone marrow registry.
Amy HardyGUEST
[laughs]
Ted SchubelHOST
Yeah.
Amy HardyGUEST
It's like NGP, NP, I don't know, but I, I've missed Be The Match, but they said they were confused for dating sites, so they had to change [laughs] the name.
Ted SchubelHOST
That's funny.
Coach EllmannGUEST
So if anybody's interested in coming in and getting autographs or taking photos, that's a fun opportunity as well.
Coach EllmannGUEST
And then we have, um, what was formerly Be the Match, which is now NMDP, which is a donor registry program.
Coach EllmannGUEST
And so, um, we're hoping that we can get at least 100 people to swab their mouth and enter that, that registry, uh, so that we can save some lives down the road by matching people that need bone marrow transplants with those, um, in our community.
Coach EllmannGUEST
And so, um, we're really excited about that meaningful initiative as well.
