Joining the Gift of Life CAP program was the best decision I made. I get excited planning out my upcoming drives and working with the other CAPs on my campus, and around the country, to add donors to the registry. Working in the CAP program has been so much fun and has brought me so much joy. Recently I’ve been getting more and more emails about matches being found from drives I’ve run, and it always makes my day better.

Gift of Life in Partnership with Project Life Movement
In 2018, Gift of Life Marrow Registry partnered with Project Life Movement to increase recruitment efforts on college campuses. The organization’s concentration and proven success educating and recruiting students at universities aligned seamlessly with Gift of Life’s Campus Ambassador Program. We work together on many campuses, particularly those in and around their headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina. Our shared mission to grow the registry has allowed us to find more matches for those in need by working together.

Being a Gift of Life Campus Ambassador isn’t all about adding something to your resume. It’s about involving your campus community in Gift of Life’s mission, spreading awareness about the ability to cure blood cancer, and utilizing your campus network to help us save lives. It all starts with the connections you already have – your friends and student organizations!
Receiving the notification that we got a match was an extremely validating experience. It showed me that the effort we are putting in is really making an impact. I am excited to keep on swabbing and keep on finding matches!
