ROTARY INTERNATIONAL DISTRICT 3060
BLOOD STEM CELL DONOR REGISTRATION DRIVE 2026-2027

An appeal to donors in the USA

​

Dear Friends and Supporters,

We invite you to become a partner in saving lives by supporting the Blood Stem Cell Donor Registry Drive 2026–27 of Rotary International District 3060.

 Why Your Support Matters: 

- ❤️ Every day, nearly 40 adults in India are diagnosed with life-threatening blood disorders.
- 👶 Around 10,000 children are born with Thalassemia every year, many requiring life-saving stem cell transplants.
- 🩸 For patients suffering from leukemia, thalassemia, aplastic anemia, and other blood disorders, a Blood Stem Cell Transplant is often the only cure.
- 🎯 The probability of finding a matching unrelated donor is only 1 in a million, making donor registry expansion critically important.
- 🤝 Rotary District 3060 is partnering with DATRI, India's largest not-for-profit Blood Stem Cell Registry, to register 5,000 new potential life-saving donors.
- 💰 The cost of registering one donor, including HLA typing, is ₹1,800 (approximately US $21–22).
- 🌍 Your contribution directly helps expand the donor registry, giving thousands of patients a greater chance of finding a life-saving match.
- 📊 Complete transparency, periodic progress reports, and financial accountability will be maintained throughout the project.
- ❤️ Your generosity is not just a donation— it is an opportunity to give someone a second chance at life.
