- The clubs will host a DKMS sign-up in Freiburg on Sunday, April 19, before their 3:30 p.m. kickoff, with a second drive set for April 25 in Heidenheim.
- Cinja, diagnosed with leukemia in late January, now relies on finding a compatible unrelated donor.
- Eligible volunteers ages 17 to 55 can register in minutes with three cheek swabs or request a kit at www.dkms.de/cinja.
- Most donations collect stem cells from the blood after short-term medication, which avoids surgery for about nine in ten donors.
- Eren Dinkçi says his partner is in outpatient care and staying positive, and Freiburg coach Julian Schuster urged fans to register as potential lifesavers.
