About Us
The Icla da Silva Foundation was established in June of 1992, as a nonprofit organization under section 501(c) 3 of the IRS Code.
The organization honors the life of a thirteen-year-old Brazilian girl who passed away after bravely fighting leukemia and despite all her family, friends and neighbors efforts in finding her a matching donor.
Icla's last wishes, enthusiasm and everlasting hope deeply inspire the Icla da Silva Foundation’s programs and activities. In the last 15 years the Foundation has grown to become one of the largest recruitment organization for the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP), helping create a more ethnic diverse registry and fostering hope for patients and their families.
Our Mission
The Icla da Silva Foundation’s mission is to secure the highest possible quality of life for children and adults in need for a bone marrow transplant. We are dedicated to build a diverse marrow donor registry so patients from all ethnic backgrounds can have a better chance for life.
We strive to provides excellent emotional, financial and advocacy support to people of all ages suffering from life threatening blood illnesses.
