The Icla da Silva Foundation

The mission of the Icla da Silva Foundation is to save lives by recruiting bone marrow donors and by providing support services to children and adults with leukemia and other diseases treatable by marrow transplants.

Your support is vital to the Icla da Silva Foundation's efforts to help children and adults with leukemia. Together we will continue to touch the lives of many people affected by leukemia by providing patients with life-saving donors and their families with the needed assistance.

The Icla da Silva Foundation, a nonprofit organization under section 501(c) 3 of the IRS Code, was established in June of 1992 after the death of Icla da Silva, a thirteen-year-old Brazilian girl who had leukemia. She died after intense efforts by her family, friends and neighbors to find a matching donor.
