what we do
Volunteers donate their time and effort to conduct marrow donor drives throughout California (there are no paid members). Since 2000, a growing number of public safety organizations are supporting our efforts to conduct marrow drives and increase the number of committed donors in the Registry.
OGH is responsible for bringing tens of thousands of potential donors to the Registry. As a result, numerous lives have been extended or saved!
