HOSA Week: November 1-7, 2020
If your chapter prefers to celebrate HOSA week during another week that is in better alignment with other school activities, that is great! The importance of HOSA week is the recognition of others.
HOSA has designated one week annually to encourage its members to give back
to their communities through activities, presentations, and recognition and to
give thanks to the value, accomplishments and achievements of all who have
made the health profession a better place to work.
HOSA week activities are designed to provide school or community service,
promote opportunities and show appreciation to the health community.

You + Be The Match = A
Life-saving Team!
Be The Match is thrilled to partner with HOSA-Future Health Professionals and dedicated members like you! Each month, you will receive a “Be The Match life-saving mission” that will have fundraising and recruitment tips and updates about the program and prizes!
MISSION #1: Start by learning all about Be The Match, so you are 100% prepared for future missions!
You will quickly learn there are several ways to work with Be The Match – fundraising:
-
Be The Match.recruiting people to join the Be The Match Registry®;
-
using the materials to educate others through the competitive events program (Health Education, etc.);
-
and much more! Each mission will help you better understand your involvement with Be The Match.
MISSION #2: Launch your Fundraising Page. It’s easy and only takes a couple minutes. (Under 18? Make sure your parent or guardian is nearby to provide consent.)
Once you completed your first mission (learning about all things Be The Match) then you are ready to start your next mission!
Here's how:
1. Go to BeTheMatch.org/HOSAFundraising
2. Choose “Start a page” and enter your initial information.
3. Select your chapter fundraising page and charter number. If your chapter page isn’t set up yet, no problem! Remind your HOSA advisor to start your chapter page and then start your individual page in the meantime. (We can add you to the chapter page and include your charter number later.)
4. Customize your fundraising page, then connect it to your social media.
5. Spread the word and share your page! Invite your friends and family to visit your page and make a contribution.
6. Once you are registered, you will have access to more tips and tools to help you get started.
QUICK TIP!
5 friends x $20 = $100
Every $100 = 1 potential donor to the Be The Match Registry
YOU are helping to grow the registry, provide grants to patient families, and fund research to make transplants safer and more available to all patients.
Let’s start saving lives—together!
Questions? Contact HOSA@nmdp.org for help setting up your page and getting started.
SNEAK PEEK: Your third mission is to start recruiting people to join the Be The Match Registry. But wait for details before getting started so you and your chapter get points for each person you add.
