There Goes My Hero

Mission: To save lives, provide hope, and help those impacted by blood cancer.

We have a variety of programs and initiatives, including bone marrow donor registry drives, the Hero Fund, Color the Registry, and Join for Joe.

Since 2019, we have: 

• Registered 23,134 potential lifesavers onto the bone marrow donor registry 

• Found 709 matches 

• Facilitated 67 life-saving transplants  

• Provided 155,985 meals to patients

We rely on volunteers to:

• Educate people on the importance of joining the bone marrow donor registry and facilitate the swabbing process for those who are interested in registering at bone marrow donor registry drives.

• Prepare and serve meals for the cancer patients and caregivers at Johns Hopkins Hackerman-Patz Patient and Family Pavilion, create cards of encouragement, assemble care packages, and stuff farting animals for pediatric cancer patients.

• Provide support at special events, including the Bob Bell Automotive Charity Golf Tournament, and United Karting

There Goes My Hero also has in-office volunteer opportunities as well, including opportunities to write “Thank You” letters to our donors, call businesses for donations, and more!
