Hendrick Marrow Program

Rick Hendrick, chairman and CEO of Hendrick Motorsports, established the Hendrick Marrow Program in 1997 after he was diagnosed with leukemia. Even though he did not need a marrow transplant himself, he wanted to help other patients waiting to find a marrow match and a second chance at life.
The Hendrick Marrow Program works with Be The Match Foundation® to support the work of the National Marrow Donor Program® (NMDP)*. It raises money to add more potential marrow donors to the Be The Match Registry®, increasing the chances that more patients find their match. It also helps patients pay for some uninsured transplant costs, which are often a barrier to treatment.
In the 15 years since the start of the Hendrick Marrow Program:
- More than $13 million has been raised
- More than 100,000 members have been added to the Be The Match Registry
- More than 8,000 patients have received grants from the Hendrick Family Fund for Patient Assistance
