Lights, Food, and Life-Saving Missions: Our Night at 626 Market

In July 2024, our team had the incredible experience of partnering with the National Marrow Donor Program to host a booth at the iconic 626 Night Market in Arcadia. It was a high-energy night filled with great food, vibrant crowds, and, most importantly, a shared mission to save lives.

Spreading awareness and hope at the 626 Night Market with "Be The Match" — join, give, volunteer, and be the cure.

Making an Impact in the Heart of the Market

The 626 Night Market is all about community, and we couldn't think of a better place to talk about the importance of the bone marrow donor registry. Our booth became a hub of conversation where we walked passersby through the donation process, demystifying the steps and showing just how simple—and impactful—it is to join.

We wanted to make sure everyone who stopped by felt welcome, so we brought along some fun giveaways to help break the ice. Those small moments of connection turned into something much bigger: by the end of the night, we were thrilled to have added 100+ new donors to the registry!

A Night to Remember

Registering over 100 people in just a few hours was a massive win for our mission. It’s a powerful reminder that when you go where the community is, people are ready and willing to step up for others. A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by, took the time to listen, and signed up to be a potential match.

We’re already looking forward to our next big outreach event. Every person who joins the registry is a new beacon of hope for a patient in need, and we are so proud of the progress we made in Arcadia that night.
