DKMS collaborated in a volunteer initiative alongside the SBB Research Group Foundation, which partners with local nonprofits through its Champion A Charity Program.

At Night Shift Brewing near Boston, Massachusetts, a charitable initiative unfolded as nonprofit organization DKMS found a staunch supporter in Jennie Osber, volunteer project leader. DKMS, a global nonprofit dedicated to combating blood cancer and disorders, aims to raise awareness, recruit bone marrow donors, and fundraise for registration costs to support research in blood cancer therapies.

The brewery event focused on encouraging attendees to register as potential bone marrow donors through a simple cheek swab process using DKMS-provided kits. Osber's efforts resulted in a significant boost to the donor registry.

Collected cheek swab samples were sent to DKMS for human leukocyte antigen (HLA) testing, a crucial step in adding donors to the global registry. Matching HLA characteristics between donors and patients increases the chances of successful bone marrow transplants, offering hope to those battling blood cancer.

This event furthered DKMS's mission and emphasized the impact of community engagement in the fight against blood cancer. The commitment of SBB Research Group Foundation and DKMS volunteers highlighted the collective effort needed to make a positive difference in the lives of those affected by blood disorders.
