It’s needed to help save two-year-old Zainab, a South Florida girl who is battling neuroblastoma, a very aggressive form of cancer. 
 
Zainab’s blood is extremely rare because she is missing a common antigen that most people carry on their red blood cells. The antigen is called “Indian B” (Inb). For a person to be a possible match for Zainab, they must also be missing the Indian B antigen, or the little girl's body will reject the blood.  Locating people who are missing the Indian B antigen comes down to genetics.

•	Statistically, the only people who are likely to be a match for Zainab are people of Pakistani, Indian or Iranian descent. Of these populations, less than 4% of the people are actually missing the Indian B antigen. 

To be a match for Zainab a donor must meet the following criteria:
•	Must be exclusively Pakistani, Indian or Iranian descent – meaning the donor’s birth parents are both              
           100% Pakistani, Indian or Iranian  
•	Must be blood type “O” or “A”
•	All donations for Zainab must be coordinated with OneBlood in advance to ensure the additional compatibility testing is performed. Visit https://www.oneblood.org/zainab/ for donation information.

OneBlood is working closely with other blood centers and the American Rare Donor Program (ARDP), an organization that searches the world for rare blood donors. So far, three matching donors have been located, including a donor that ARDP located in the United Kingdom, near London.  It’s the first time OneBlood has ever received an international donor for a local patient.  The other two matching donors are from the United States.

While it’s promising the three donors have been located, additional donors are needed.  Zainab will need blood transfusions for the foreseeable future.  To support her long-term blood needs, the search is on to find at least seven to ten compatible donors. OneBlood is sharing Zainab’s story in the hopes more people who meet the specific donor criteria will come forward to donate for the little girl.  

OneBlood is conducting all compatibility testing of potential donors.  So far, more than 1,000 local donations, as well as donations from other parts of the country have been tested and no additional matches have been identified. 

Media Tool Kit Available
•	To view OneBlood’s online show about the search for Zainab’s donors, and for details on how to donate and/or host a blood drive for Zainab, please visit https://www.oneblood.org/zainab/.

OneBlood is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) community asset responsible for providing safe, available and affordable blood to more than 200 hospital partners and their patients throughout most of Florida, parts of Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina.  Generally healthy people age 16 or older who weigh at least 110 pounds can donate blood. To learn more about OneBlood visit www.oneblood.org.

Ambassadors attend Ribbon Cuttings and also take part in being a mentor to new members. This is a great way to meet new prospects and welcome them to the chamber.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Every month the Ambassadors should attend one of the many Chamber events. They network with new members and expose their own business during the process. There is an average of ten ribbon cuttings per month. We encourage all Ambassadors to attend as many ribbon cuttings as their time allows. The time investment for this committee can be as high as 10 hours per month depending on your level of involvement.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The goal of the Chamber of Commerce of Cape Coral Education Committee is to assist our local students, teachers and schools as they prepare for the future. This is done in a number of ways that include but are not limited to; raising funds, providing needed supplies, recognizing achievements and connecting local businesses with local schools. The goal is to help provide a well-rounded, prepared work force for our local businesses in the near future.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;!-- /wp:paragraph --&gt;&lt;!-- wp:paragraph --&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Education Committee consists of local business leaders committed to achieving the committee goals. Annual events include a fund-raiser for scholarship monies and the prestigious Excellence in Education Awards Banquet. This annual event honors one educator and one student from each of our local schools with a special evening where they are presented a plaque and gifts provided by local businesses. Family members are invited to accompany the recipients as local business leaders, school district officials and our government officials honor then for their achievements.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;!-- /wp:paragraph --&gt;&lt;!-- wp:paragraph --&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Education Committee meetings are held on a monthly basis, the second Thursday of every month at 7:30am. This group is always in need of enthusiastic chamber members to serve on this committee.&lt;/p&gt;

The Board of Directors are the member representative who have the fiduciary responsibility and are the policy makers that direct the organization. Duties include making sure the organization has the financial resources to operation. They are also responsible for creation of the annual business plan to meet the current and future needs of the business community.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This committee creates the policies, positions, and direction for the organization often with advisement of other committees and task forces. Board members are encouraged to participate in one or more chamber committees so that they can report committee activities to the Board of Directors monthly. Board members are also encouraged to attend membership functions and further the communication of chamber issues. Time investment for Board of Directors is usually 4 - 5 hours monthly.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This monthly meeting is for the Board of Directors and Trustees. If you would like more information about being a part of the Board of Directors or attending a monthly meeting, please contact Donna Germain, President/CEO at (239) 549-6900 x107.&lt;/p&gt;

Ambassadors attend Ribbon Cuttings and also take part in being a mentor to new members. This is a great way to meet new prospects and welcome them to the chamber.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Every month the Ambassadors should attend one of the many Chamber events. They network with new members and expose their own business during the process. There is an average of ten ribbon cuttings per month. We encourage all Ambassadors to attend as many ribbon cuttings as their time allows. The time investment for this committee can be as high as 10 hours per month depending on your level of involvement.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The goal of the Chamber of Commerce of Cape Coral Education Committee is to assist our local students, teachers and schools as they prepare for the future. This is done in a number of ways that include but are not limited to; raising funds, providing needed supplies, recognizing achievements and connecting local businesses with local schools. The goal is to help provide a well-rounded, prepared work force for our local businesses in the near future.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;!-- /wp:paragraph --&gt;&lt;!-- wp:paragraph --&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Education Committee consists of local business leaders committed to achieving the committee goals. Annual events include a fund-raiser for scholarship monies and the prestigious Excellence in Education Awards Banquet. This annual event honors one educator and one student from each of our local schools with a special evening where they are presented a plaque and gifts provided by local businesses. Family members are invited to accompany the recipients as local business leaders, school district officials and our government officials honor then for their achievements.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;!-- /wp:paragraph --&gt;&lt;!-- wp:paragraph --&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Education Committee meetings are held on a monthly basis, the second Thursday of every month at 7:30am. This group is always in need of enthusiastic chamber members to serve on this committee.&lt;/p&gt;
