There are several ways you can make a difference. If you feel you can help the foundation in some other manner we would love for you to contact us with your ideas. We are always looking for new ways to help the foundation grow.

• Become a volunteer Blood and/or Platelet Pheresis donor by contacting your local Blood Center to donate. Almost all cancer patients who receive chemotherapy need blood transfusions. Jessica received over 400 blood transfusions in just four months to keep her alive throughout her transplant; blood donors gave her a fighting chance. Your regular blood donation can help meet the needs of children and adults going through cancer treatments.
  

• Become a potential Bone Marrow or Stem Cell donor; you could be the one who directly saves the life of a child who needs a marrow or stem cell transplant. Contact the National Marrow Donor Program (http://www.marrow.org) at 1-800-MARROW2 (1-800-627-7692) or the HLA Registry Foundation (http://www.HLARegistry.org) at 1-888-HLA-DONOR for more information or to register.
  

• Know someone who is pregnant? Share with them the knowledge that the umbilical cord blood of newborn babies after birth contains large numbers of blood stem cells that could potentially save a life, including their own or someone in their family. Visit the National Marrow Donor Program website(shown above) for a list of Cord Blood Banks near you.
  

• Share your skills and talents with the Jessica Ann Hicks Foundation or a similar organization in your area.
  

• Donate to the Jessica Ann Hicks Foundation, Inc so that together we can continue to make a difference in the future of childhood cancer and in the lives of those fighting this battle. Checks may be made payable to:
