The Gift of Life Marrow Registry is a non-profit organization founded in 1991 and headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida that operates a public blood stem cell and bone marrow registry while facilitating transplants for children and adults battling life-threatening illnesses, including leukemia, lymphoma, other cancers and genetic diseases.

Since tissue type is inherited, like eye or hair color, a patient's best chance of finding a genetic match lies with those of similar ethnic background.

[6] Only 30 percent of patients with diseases treatable with a blood stem cell/bone marrow transplant can find a suitable donor among their family members.

In order to collect a sufficient quantity of stem cells, injections of a medication called filgrastim must be administered.

If a donor declines to donate via one method, the transplant center may or may not be able to accept the other, based on the clinical needs of the patient.

[citation needed] Gift of Life opened a Center for Cell and Gene Therapy at its Boca Raton location in November 2020.

High complexity testing (hematology and flow cytometry), processing (Sepax 2) and cryopreservation are performed at this location.
