If all the people in the world were the same, finding bone marrow donors would be truly simple. However, people are different and they have thousands of different types of bone marrow. When someone is in need of a transplant, we must find someone who is a match. Tissue typing is an expensive process, but the only one that enables doctors to find a matching bone marrow in time, which one day, you may need. Today, the Registry has 31,665 donors, of which 3,413 samples have been tissue typed.
The concert is free, but the proceeds from the sale of programs will go towards the Foundation.
