Hi APAMSA,

We are in the final month of the Be The Match x APAMSA Interchapter Competition! The competition will be coming to an end on September 1st, at which point registrations will close. However, registrants can continue returning their kits for up to a month before we officially decide our winner. As a reminder, the top 14 schools with the highest number of registrants will receive a Visa Gift Card as a prize. It’s not too late to boost your numbers or get your chapter in the running, so see below for things you can do!

1. Host a Bone Marrow Drive to kick off the start of the school year and register incoming M1s! Reach out to your Be The Match representative to get started and apply for the Bone Marrow Grant ($150) for additional funding.

2. Join the Summer Swab Your Circle Campaign by requesting a swab kit and start swabbing your friends/family. It’s an easy way to get more individuals registered for the National Bone Marrow Registry. Don’t forget to mention your APAMSA chapter when requesting your kit!

3. Continue reaching out and reminding registrants to return their kits!
