Every year, thousands of adults and children need bone marrow transplants — a procedure which may be their only chance for survival. Although some patients with leukemia or other cancers have a genetically matched family member who can donate, about 70 percent do not. These patients' lives depend on finding an unrelated individual with a compatible tissue type, who is willing to donate marrow for them.

To help these patients, BAPS Charities organized a Bone Marrow Drive on April 26, 2009 in Dallas, TX. The event received good response with 82 participants registering at the event.
