John F. Keegan Classic

Join us Monday, Sept. 28, at Trump National Golf Club in Colts Neck, N.J., to raise funds for NMDP and honor John Keegan, a devoted father who received a life-saving bone marrow transplant from his own son after battling leukemia—giving him two more years to enjoy his family and golf.

    Emily's ninjas

    Emily's Ninjas was formed after Emily was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in June 2011. United by love for Emily, this group rallies together throughout the year to raise vital funds for NMDP to help more patients in need of a life-saving transplant.

    Mimosas for Marrow

    This joyful community 5K run/walk was brought to life by moms Sam and Brittany after Sam's daughter, Oakley, received a life-saving bone marrow transplant in 2022. Every step of this event honors the strength of patients while raising critical funds for NMDP.

    Cancer Does Not Follow Borders

    This inaugural cross-border event was co-hosted by NMDP ambassadors in Los Angeles and NMDP México—bringing together two communities united by one powerful mission. The heartfelt evening raised more than $120K, doubling their goal, to amplify awareness and support NMDP’s mission.
