BE GREAT enables advancements in curative treatments for children with immune deficiency by supporting improvements in bone marrow transplantation, pre-screening for early diagnosis, and educational programs for parents. Our purpose is to improve the lives and medical outcomes of children with immune deficiency, which affects tens of thousands of children and deprives them of their healthy tomorrows. The BE GREAT Foundation carries the torch of the memory and legacy of Alexander James Plotas who died at the age of 13 months on September 21, 2011, due to respiratory complications after a SUCCESSFUL Allogeneic Cord Blood Transplant (commonly known as a Bone Marrow Transplant "BMT").
