OtherHalf – Chinese Stem Cell Initiative is proud to be working in partnership with Canadian Blood Services’ stem cell program, OneMatch Stem Cell and Marrow Network, in educating the Chinese community about the urgent need for more stem cell donors in Canada’s stem cell network. Out of over 18 million registered donors in the Bone Marrow Donors Worldwide (BMDW) database, only about 500,000 are of Chinese origin. That is why it is very difficult for Chinese patients to find unrelated stem cell donors for transplants. A patient’s best chance of finding a stem cell donor is within his/her own ethnic group. For many patients, stem cell transplants are their only hope for survival. Stem cell transplants are used to treat potentially life-threatening illnesses including blood cancers (leukemia, lymphoma & myeloma), aplastic anemia, immune dysfunctions, and genetic and metabolic disorders.

The Mission of The New York Stem Cell Foundation (NYSCF) is to accelerate cures for the major diseases of our time through stem cell research.

Cool Girls, Inc. is able to give low-income girls a chance to become a successful educated woman. Founded in 1989, Cool Girls started as a small girls? club in the East Lake Meadows housing development, a community with a notorious reputation for violence. The girls involved named their new club ?The Cool Girls of East Lake? and Cool Girls was born. The agency?s philosophy of working closely with girls living in low-income areas to identify their needs and provide programs to address those needs was also established during this time. The work of Cool Girls is unique and effective. It is our vision to create a learning environment where girls are empowered to succeed in academic, social and professional arenas. By taking a comprehensive approach to developing girls we understand that each of our program components are necessary and interrelated to the others.
