The Sunflower Fund is a non-profit organisation dedicated to creating awareness, educating the public and facilitating the registration process for people to join the South African Bone Marrow Registry.
There are many ways in which individuals and organisations can assist the various branches of The Sunflower Fund – be it product and/or service.
The Sunflower Fund celebrated this year’s Women’s Month by holding its annual breakfast at the Fairway Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort in Randpark Ridge. By hosting the breakfast, the fund was able to create awareness, educate, recruit and increase the number of stem cell donors on the registry.
The Sunflower Fund would love individuals to set up a monthly donation to assist in covering the costs of the blood tests for tissue-typing blood samples provided by donors. They are currently paying
R2 000 per recruited donor.
