The Challenge: Give Today, and Save a Life Tomorrow
The Arkansas Commission for the Newborn Umbilical Cord Blood Initiative and UAMS are working together to raise funds for the Cord Blood Bank of Arkansas’ operating expenses. You can help by making a tax-deductible donation to the Cord Blood Bank of Arkansas or by hosting an event in your home to raise awareness and support for the CBBA.
To make a donation, you may donate online through the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences website. Be sure to choose the “Select one or more designation(s)” box in the area labeled “Designations” and then search for Cord Blood Bank of Arkansas.
If you’d rather donate with a check, you may download the Pledge Form and mail the completed form with your check, made payable to the UAMS Foundation Fund, to:
UAMS Institutional Advancement
Cord Blood Bank of Arkansas
4301 W. Markham St., #716
Little Rock, AR 72205-7199
Those looking to donate in the early part of the year have another way to give to the CBBA. For the past three years, the Arkansas State Income Return has featured a box that taxpayers can check to have part of their tax return automatically donated to the CBBA. For more information on this, please check out this video:
The Cord Blood Bank of Arkansas was able to open its doors due in large part to the generosity of local donors. Your support will help Arkansas lead the nation in cord blood banking by establishing the first statewide combined public and private cord blood bank. With further research and an efficient banking system, more than 100 million Americans and two billion people worldwide suffering from diseases could potentially be treated or cured by cord blood transplants.
