2017 HOPE Week: Day 1
Established in 1992, the Icla da Silva Foundation is the largest recruitment center for the "Be the Match" bone marrow registry in the United States, recruiting over 38,000 new potential donors every year with a strong focus on minority communities. Thanks to the work of the foundation, 11-year-old Victor García received a lifesaving bone marrow transplant from his 7-year-old sister, Nayyelyn.
