5. Bone Marrow Donation Registration
A five- year old Houstonian boy is in need of a bone marrow transplant for a second chance at life. He was born with Beta Thalassemia (a type of blood disorder) and has to have blood transfusions every four weeks. He can lead a normal, healthy life like any other child after he receives a marrow transplant from a matching donor.
WHO CAN HELP?
- Any healthy adult between the age of 18 and 44 can register to be a donor for free of cost.
- 45 and older can go online to register (http://www.bethematch.org)
- To register you need to GIVE ONLY CHEEK SWAB SAMPLES
- Registered donors are eligible to donate until the age of 61.
6. CMH Accepted for Corporate Matching Gift Programs
Chinmaya Mission Houston has been accepted into the matching gift programs at Chevron, JP Morgan Chase, Shell, Microsoft, Citgo, Apple and Phillips 66 (recent addition).
These employers match employee contributions made to a company approved non-profit organization. If you are an employee of one of these companies, please avail of this facility by contacting the appropriate department within your organization. Some
employers like Chevron even match employee volunteer hours by making a financial contribution that they compute based on the number of volunteer hours an employee has put in.
7. Remember to use AMAZONSMILE – CMH receives .5% of member purchases, as donation
As announced, please note, that CMH has now been registered with the AmazonSmile program. This means that every time a CMH member buys through AmazonSmile, CMH receives .5% of our member purchases as donation from Amazon. For your convenience this link has now been provided on our CMH website.
