Every three minutes someone is diagnosed with a life-threatening blood cancer. More than 14,000 patients don’t have a matching marrow donor within their family. They depend on Be The Match to help find someone to give them hope for a cure. Be A Cure for someone with a life-threatening blood illness. Patients need you! For thousands with blood cancers like leukemia or other diseases like sickle cell anemia, a marrow transplant is their only hope for life. If you are of diverse ancestry, patients especially need you because they are likely to match someone who shares their heritage.

The maiden program started in Oak Park and it received one of AFP’s Philanthropy Awards in 2020. Elmhurst and the North Shore communities of Wilmette and Winnetka have just launched their new programs this fall, in large part due to the many AFP-Chicago members who were instrumental in making this happen! Three Pillars wants to see more communities in the Greater Chicago area establish their own youth philanthropy programs starting in the 2023-24 school year. They are again looking for AFP members who are willing to engage community stakeholders, help raise startup funds and recruit adult volunteer program mentors. While this could be in any community, TPI is particularly interested in talking with AFP members who have local ties to the community in which they currently live. More information is available from Rick King, TPI Board President, at 312-497-1173 or [email protected]. |
