Be The Match
Veronica Lases, the Latino Outreach and Recruitment Coordinator for Asians for Miracle Marrow Matches (A3M), will be the featured speaker.  A3M’s vision is to grow and diversify the “Be The Match” Registry, operated by the National Marrow Donor Program.  Its focus is on marrow donor recruitment within various ethnic communities, particularly for individuals facing life-threatening blood cancers. Ethnicity is a huge part of finding a match. In the national database, only 7% of the 6 million donors are Asian and Pacific Islanders.  Veronica earned a BS in Human Services from the University of Phoenix. Prior to joining A3M, she served as the Latino Preparedness Coordinator for the AmeriCorps program of the American Red Cross.
