SAMAR - South Asian Marrow Association of Recruiters

South Asian Marrow Association of Recruiters (SAMAR) serves patients diagnosed with leukemia and other fatal blood disorders from the South Asian community (people from India, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, East Africa, Guyana, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, West Indies) and other minority groups who are in search of Blood Stem Cell /Marrow donors.

Our mission is to create an informed society of individuals who would make a conscious decision to be committed donors and be available to donate blood stem cell/ marrow if they match a patient.

SAMAR is an official recruitment group of the National Marrow Donor Program and works closely with patient families and community organizations to organize bone marrow/stem cell donor recruitment drives.
