The South Asian Marrow Association-RCRTRS (SAMAR) is a non-profit organization based in Rego Park, NY, dedicated to facilitating education, tissue typing, and donor registry enrollment to ensure that no individual is denied a lifesaving blood stem cell marrow transplant due to the lack of a genetically specific donor.
Founded in 1992, SAMAR focuses on serving patients in need of blood stem cell marrow transplants for leukemia, lymphoma, fatal blood disorders, and other conditions. While initially established to address the underrepresentation of South Asians, SAMAR now works with individuals from all races and ethnicities, utilizing their knowledge of diverse cultures and backgrounds to provide specialized care. Their mission is to bring a smile back to life and their slogan, "Swab to Cure," reflects their commitment to saving lives through the involvement and dedication of their donors.
