The Hendrick Marrow Program was established by Rick Hendrick, chairman and CEO of Hendrick Motorsports, when he was diagnosed with leukemia in 1997. The Hendrick Marrow Program and Be The Match Foundation work together to help the National Marrow Donor Program. The NMDP raises funds to increase the number of potential donors on the Be The Match Registry and help transplant patients with treatment costs.


The Hendrick Marrow Program has raised more than $8 million, added more than 90,000 members to the Be The Match Registry and provided financial assistance to more than 4,000 patients through grants from the Hendrick Family Fund for Patient Assistance.
