SUPPORT THE FUTURE OF
MEDICAL DISCOVERIES

Share a lifeline to give someone in need a second chance at life.

Umbilical cord blood stem cells are being used to treat diseases such as leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, and more. Each day, research is being conducted to search for cures for diseases such as diabetes and Alzheimer’s. The potential of cord blood stem cells is promising.

Thanks to our cord blood donors, many people’s lives have been saved or improved through cord blood stem cells transplants. A young boy, Joshua Marshall, suffered from a severe immunodeficiency disease leaving him in what we coin a “bubble boy” state. His body couldn’t fight off diseases our bodies fight off involuntarily everyday. After a stem cell transplant and continuous blood transfusions, Joshua now has a healthy immune system and is leading a healthy life of a young, energetic boy.

Philanthropy has been the nurturing root of The Dan Berger Cord Blood Program from the beginning. Donations have supported the program’s success and have been used for the purchase and dissemination of marketing materials, such as brochures and flyers, to educate expectant parents about their cord blood options. Donations also cover operating costs incurred from maintaining a program of this stature.

You can Make a Difference.
