How Can I Help?
Thank you so much for wanting to help people in their fight with Leukemia
and other serious illnesses. There are several ways in which you can assist
them with their struggle.
- Donating money to the Foundation
Most of the patients we hear from are unable to work and urgently need
assistance with living and medical expenses to stay alive. Also, as a part
of the process to maximize opportunities for these patients, we help in funding
bone marrow drives to continually build the donor database. To donate money
to this important cause, please send a check or Money order to:
The Eric Drew Foundation, Inc.
P.O. BOX 1949
Los Gatos, CA 95031-1949
When sending a check or money order, your copy of your check is your receipt
for your donation.
The Eric Drew Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable non-profit organization.
A copy of the IRS letter of determination declaring the tax-exempt status
of the Eric Drew Foundation is available upon request.
Your donations are tax deductible.
- Volunteering Your Time
The Eric Drew Foundation is constantly holding fundraisers, dinners, blood
drives and other fun functions to help fight leukemia and other deadly diseases.
Volunteering your time and ideas toward these functions is greatly appreciated,
and you are guaranteed to meet lots of great people.

- Getting Registered In The National Marrow Donor Program
The only
way that most Leukemia patients can survive is by having a bone narrow transplant.
Having your tissue type listed in the National Marrow
Donor Program Database is something everyone should do. You could save
a life by a simple blood or bone marrow donation. To have your blood typed
to be added to this database please make arrangements to visit a blood bank
in your area.
You can help by having your blood typed at City
of Hope National Medical Center's national marrow program.
Or, if you are a resident in the Northern California area, Stanford University
will test your blood for bone marrow type http://bloodcenter.stanford.edu/donate/
To find blood banks in other areas, please visit the National Marrow Donor
Program at http://www.marrow.org/DONOR/donor_information_idx.html
or call 1.800.MARROW2.
YOU CAN SAVE A LIFE!
