There are a number of people who are asking about countries besides the US. Because of Bone Marrow Donors Worldwide[0], it doesn't matter where in the world you are and where you register, as long as you register with an organization which shares their info with the BMDW.

OP, in case you haven't thought of this already: CISA is the Columbia Iranian Students Association. They may be able to help you reach out to other Iranian friends and family. Turath is the Arab students association; that may be worth a shot too. Great Neck is right nearby, and there is literally a 100% chance that someone at CISA is from Great Neck and will be able to get the word out to the Persian community there.

You're from LA so I'm going to guess you're either from Beverly Hills or are in touch with the community there, but if not, someone at CISA will definitely be as well.

Hi chimeracoder, first of all big fan of your work.

I did reach out to CISA and the co-presidents got in touch with me. And my dad has gotten the word out in the LA Iranian community. I don't know anyone from Great Neck though. And it always feels awkward asking someone that I'm not related to to put up flyers for me. A sense of shame when I need it least! Thanks for the heads up, I had forgotten about Great Neck.
