Double Victory at the Volksstadion: A Successful Campaign Day with the Vorpommern Vandals!
To wrap up a highly successful month of May, we were invited to set up a registration booth at the Vorpommern Vandals’ football game against the Potsdam Royals II. Alongside a successful day of sports—where the Vandals celebrated a well-deserved victory—there were also plenty of reasons to celebrate off the field. A total of 330 spectators visited the stadium and took the opportunity to learn about stem cell donation. We were particularly delighted to record numerous new registrations of potential stem cell donors at our booth. Every single registration means an additional chance for patients worldwide who rely on a life-saving stem cell donation. We were absolutely thrilled that not only did the mascot Olaf hang out at our booth, but several players themselves signed up as potential stem cell donors. We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to all the volunteers and the many visitors who stopped by…
Dancing for a Good Cause: Hitting the 1,000th Registration Milestone at Rave Against Blood Cancer!
For the second time, it was time to Rave Against Blood Cancer! Once again, the C9 venue was transformed into a dance floor for a good cause, bringing together people who wanted to party while doing good. Providing the perfect soundtrack were our amazing DJs—DJ Hoang, DJill, and V.L.S.—who turned the evening into a true highlight with their sets. We would like to send a special thank you to all three of them for donating 100% of their performance fees to our cause. This level of dedication is truly exceptional and contributed significantly to the success of our party. Alongside great music and an exuberant atmosphere, one thing took center stage: raising awareness about blood cancer and stem cell donation. We connected with numerous dance enthusiasts, answered questions, and provided information on how to give patients worldwide a second chance at life. It was a huge success: 25 new potential…
Students Saving Lives – Registration Drive at Humboldt-Gymnasium
On March 10, 2026, we visited the Alexander-von-Humboldt-Gymnasium in Greifswald for our second school event of the year. Throughout the day, the 11th graders went through various stations where we taught them all about leukemia and stem cell donation. We were stoked to see both students and teachers getting involved so enthusiastically and asking great questions. Once they had all the facts, 21 people signed up as potential stem cell donors. We’re looking forward to many more events in the summer semester and hope you all have a relaxing break!
Back to school – with the Campus Heroes!
On February 5, 2026, we headed back to high school for a project that’s become a real favorite of ours: our school outreach program! This time, we visited the 11th graders at Jahn-Gymnasium Greifswald to talk about some seriously important topics: leukemia and how life-saving stem cell donations work. We teamed up with the guys from Blutspende Greifswald, AG EH-MED, AG Aufklärung Organspende, and the Land|Rettung M-V crew to put together a full Health Day. The students moved through different stations in small groups, and we gave them a quick presentation at each one. Afterward, they got to test what they’d learned in a quiz. The best part? They had the chance to sign up as potential stem cell donors right then and there. 22 students decided to go for it and have now officially started the search for their genetic twin! Since you have to be 18 to actually donate, the 17-year-olds who signed up will…
When Christmas Saves Lives: 96 New Stem Cell Donors
Under the motto “Give Christmas the Chance to Save a Life”, an incredible 96 students registered as stem cell donors this year, showing that the true spirit of Christmas lies in giving, compassion, and helping others. Every single registration represents hope – and could one day mean a second chance at life for someone affected by blood cancer. During the midday hours, the Beitzplatz cafeteria was filled with a special sense of warmth and togetherness. Soft Christmas music, the smell of freshly baked cookies, and small gifts created a festive atmosphere that invited students to pause between lectures and daily routines. Many took the time to learn more about stem cell donation, ask questions, and make a conscious decision to help. This campaign made it clear what Christmas is truly about: standing together, taking responsibility, and sharing hope. The 96 new stem cell donors have shown that even a small step can make a huge difference – and may be…
Freshers’ Week 2025: Campus Heroes in the Middle of It All
During Freshers’ Week 2025, the Campus Heroes were present at many locations – on campus, in lecture halls, and at events around the city. Our goal was to get to know new students, raise awareness of our work, and provide easy access to information about stem cell donation. We took part in several local project breakfasts, presentations across different study programs, the AStA’s Markt der Möglichkeiten, and the Medical Students’ Council city rally. Supported by stickers, flyers, new postcards, as well as our new roll-up banner and beach flag, we were highly visible and easy to approach. A key part of all activities was the opportunity to register as a stem cell donor. Over the course of the week, we were able to register 62 new stem cell donors. Freshers’ Week once again showed how much can be achieved through presence, personal conversations, and teamwork. We thank all freshers for their interest and look forward to seeing you…
Rave Against Blood Cancer
On Saturday, July 5, 2025, the time had come – Rave Against Blood Cancer took place in Club 9. With DJ Hoang, Jeanska B2B with Tiziano, and V.L.S. on the lineup, the night delivered a wide range of sounds, covering everything from 2000s / 2010s to Hard Trance, Bounce, and Hard Techno. The DJs sent a strong message by playing for free and donating their fees to support the fight against blood cancer. Away from the dancefloor, guests had the opportunity to register as stem cell donors or enjoy a special highlight of the night: the Bone Marrow Shot. Thanks to Club 9, DJ Hoang, Jeanska, Tiziano, and V.L.S., and everyone who brought the night to life. In total, we were able to raise an incredible €450 in donations for our mission.

Greifswalder FC x Campus Heroes for Tom Weilandt
The matchday was not only a sporting success for Greifswalder FC and the Campus Heroes, but also a strong sign of solidarity. As part of a joint donor registration drive, former team captain Tom Weilandt was supported, as he is currently searching for a suitable stem cell donor. A total of 160 people registered with DKMS as potential stem cell donors on the day. Every new registration increases the chance of finding a matching donor for Tom – or for another person affected by blood cancer. The strong turnout reflects the close connection within the club community and beyond. While VfL Bochum 1848 already held a registration drive for Tom Weilandt last week, Hansa Rostock will host a similar campaign next weekend. The day was also successful on the pitch: Greifswalder FC secured a convincing 4–0 home victory against Hallescher FC. Together, we are sending a clear message – for Tom Weilandt, for solidarity, and in the fight against blood…
78 new stem cell donors at Campus4Life
During our Campus4Life registration drive at Lohmeyerplatz and in the Beitzplatz cafeteria, we were able to recruit 78 new stem cell donors. The campaign took place in bright sunshine as part of the University Information Days and was held in light of World Blood Cancer Day, which is observed annually on May 28 to raise awareness in the fight against blood cancer. Many students and cafeteria visitors took the opportunity to learn about stem cell donation before their lunch break or while enjoying the sunshine after eating, and registered directly on site. By registering, the new donors are now available for worldwide matching with patients suffering from blood cancer, sending a strong message of solidarity and hope. 🫶🩸 Photo courtesy of Kilian Köthe (University Communications, University of Greifswald)
First School Outreach at Humboldt Gymnasium Greifswald
With our first school outreach, the Campus Heroes visited Humboldt Gymnasium Greifswald. Together with other dedicated initiatives, we were able to offer students a diverse and hands-on insight into various topics related to health, prevention, and civic engagement. Alongside the LandRetter, AG EHmed, AG Organ Donation, and the Blood Donation team – who initiated the event – we had the opportunity to shape the day together. As part of our contribution, we gave a presentation on stem cell registration, explaining how a potential donation works. A special focus was placed on personal exchange: our speaker shared her own experience as a stem cell donor, giving the students an honest and impactful first-hand insight into the process. To conclude, the newly gained knowledge was tested in a quiz. Students aged 17 and older were also given the opportunity to register directly as stem cell donors. Twenty-one students took advantage of this opportunity. Their registrations will be activated in the registry once they turn 18. The school outreach demonstrated…
