DRIVE TO SAVE is a community impact campaign designed to leverage the convergence of timing, Indy location, and platform of championship collegiate basketball with the 10-year impact milestone of Project 44. 

CAMPAIGN GOAL: To affect a historic, life-saving impact on blood cancer through collegiate championship basketball

Over the course of the 2025-26 and 2026-27 seasons, Project 44 will significantly increase its marketing & communications presence throughout the city and state to generate awareness, education, and advocacy in an effort to add a historic number of committed donors to the NMDP registry. Focused on DI, DII, and DIII collegiate basketball events and post-season tournaments, Project 44 will activate partnerships with organizations such as Indiana Sports Corp, Butler Athletics, and other anchor institutions throughout Indianapolis.
