A nonprofit, tax-exempt organization, Save the Cord Foundation was established to create and provide educational awareness and to distribute unbiased, factual information concerning the life-saving benefits of cord blood, and the need to preserve this valuable natural resource.

Save the Cord Foundation is working to make the collection of cord blood the standard of care in hospitals throughout the nation, and to make public cord blood banks a national priority. The organization, through the work of its founders Anne Sarabia and Charis Ober and a team of dedicated volunteers, is in the process of achieving the following goals:

• Save the Cord Foundation wants to be a clearing house of information for hospitals and other programs that are looking to start a cord blood donation program of their own. This involves gathering information from hospitals that have already established a successful cord blood collection program and using it to help others do the same.
• The Foundation is also in the process of initiating a pilot program with a hospital in southern Arizona, and hopes to expand the program throughout the country. This hospital-based program will provide an on-site health educator, who will be solely dedicated to educating expectant mothers about cord blood and their options for donation, or private banking.
• Finally, Save the Cord Foundation’s goal is that legislatures in all 50 states mandate that cord blood be collected following each birth, and public cord blood banks are easily accessible.

Help Save the Cord Foundation reach these goals.
