OneMatch Stem Cell & Marrow Network is a not-for-profit, charitable organization under Canadian Blood Services.  The sole mission of OneMatch is to secure, in an expeditious way, donors for Canadian stem cell transplant patients and for patients abroad.  It is also responsible for recruiting stem cell donors and managing the database for the stem cell & marrow network in Canada.
 
OtherHalf – Chinese Stem Cell Initiative was started by a group of concerned Chinese Canadians who would like to help increase the number of registrants of Chinese origin in the stem cell network.  In collaboration with OneMatch, a member of the global stem cell network, it has been doing awareness campaigns and stem cell drives through various events to deflect myths and educate the Chinese public about stem cell donation.
