100 likes! Even though our CNU chapter is the smallest chapter in Virginia, over the past four years we have registered over hundreds of students to the National Bone Marrow Registry! We have even had a handful of Captains match with patients on the waiting list!
We hope that this year we can continue to contribute to growing the donor list and help families around the globe. Your help has been outstanding and we owe our success to all of the CNU students that have volunteered with us and joined the registry.
Thank you!

Hey everyone! I hope that everyone is enjoying this great summer weather!
Even though school is out, Be The Match still needs your help! For the rest of the summer, we hope that you will help us sign up more people to the registry and with donations so that patients can get the life-saving treatment they deserve. In 2015, more than $3.4 million dollars was given in patient assistance grants to help more than 2,000 families afford transplants. Let's by helping even more families!
