"Your heritage may save a life" - Tu herencia podría salvar una vida

The National Marrow Donor Program ® (NMDP), created in 1986, is a non profit organization based in Minneapolis, Minnesota that facilitates unrelated donor stem cell transplants for patients with life-threatening blood diseases who do not have matching donors in their families. Currently, the NMDP ® facilitates more than 100 transplants each month. The NMDP ® provides a single point of access for all sources of blood stem cells used in transplantation: marrow, peripheral blood and umbilical cord blood. 

The Registry is able to search its own database and provide physicians with information on multiple stem cell sources for life-saving transplants. The Hispanos Dando Esperanza: Nu Alpha Kappa Fraternity Inc.-Hermandad Initiative 2000-2003 is dedicated to outreaching in the Hispanic/Latino communities. This outreach to the Hispanic/Latino community demonstrates that the NMDP ® and Nu Alpha Kappa Fraternity Inc. are committed to serving our culturally diverse U.S.A. This initiative promotes innovation and teamwork. By incorporating these values, the NDMP ® and Nu Alpha Kappa aspire to set a standard of excellence nationwide that rewards our recipients, donors, volunteers, and communities. Nuestra hermandad is what makes us, the Hispanic/Latino communities, unique.
