What do newborn stem cells have to offer?

How does it work?

Umbilical cord blood contains immune-forming hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). You only get one chance to take advantage of these powerful newborn stem cells, and that’s at birth. Once your baby is born, valuable blood will be drawn from the cord. The process is quick, painless, and safe for both mother and baby. Then that blood will be made ready for storage or donation, depending on which you choose.

Find out how to harness

the power of newborn stem cells from cord blood

Be sure to talk to your obstetrician now, about preserving your baby’s newborn stem cells on the big day — to save for your own family, or to donate to another. It’s a decision that could make a big difference for someone you love, or for someone you’ve never even met.

You'll be eligible for every draw until your due date!

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

CANADA RESIDENTS OVER 18 ONLY. THIS CONTEST IS VOID WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW. RESTRICTIONS APPLY AS SET FORTH HEREIN.

The Cells for Life's Refer-a-Friend Contest (the “Contest”) is sponsored by Cells for Life, with offices at 216 Britannia Rd E Mississauga, ON, L4Z 1S6 (“Sponsor” or “Cells for Life”). By entering or otherwise participating in this Contest, you agree to be bound fully and unconditionally by these Official Rules (“Rules”) and to Cells for Life’s decisions, which are final and binding in all respects. The Contest begins on July 1, 2025 at 12:00am EDT and ends at 11:59pm EDT on July 31, 2025 (the “Contest Period”).

HOW TO WIN: Existing Cells for Life clients ("Referring Clients") refer new clients to Cells for Life ("Referred Clients") during the Contest Period. The Referring Client who has the greatest number of Referred Clients who enroll with Cells for Life during the Contest Period will receive the 1st place prize, the Referring Client who has the second greatest number of Referred Clients who enroll with Cells for Life during the Contest Period will receive the 2nd place prize, and the Referring Client who has the third greatest number of Referred Clients who enroll with Cells for Life during the Contest Period will receive the 3rd place prize (the “Prizes”).

In the event of a tie, the Referring Client who reaches the greatest number of Referred Clients enrolled first will be the winner of the Prize. Cells for Life will determine who meets these criteria based on the Referred Client’s enrollment date and exact time. If there are not enough Referring Clients to give away each Prize, all Prizes will not be given out (for example, if Cells for Life only receives two Referred Clients from two Referring Clients, only two Prizes will be rewarded).

ELIGIBILITY: The Contest is available for both online enrollments and phone enrollments by Referred Clients as long as the Referred Client mentions Referring Client’s name when enrolling over the phone. The Contest is open to all Referring Clients who are in good standing with Cells for Life. Referred Clients must not have previously stored newborn stem cells with Cells for Life. Cells for Life reserves the right to deem Referring Clients ineligible to participate in this Contest if Cells for Life, in its sole discretion, concludes that the Referring Client has engaged in any fraudulent activity or has participated in the Contest in a manner inconsistent with these Official Rules or any federal, state or local, laws, statutes or ordinances.

Employees, officers, and directors of Sponsor, its parent companies, affiliates, subsidiaries; advertising, promotion, and fulfillment agencies; and legal advisors, and all their immediate family members and persons living in their same household are not eligible to participate in the Contest. Participants who have won a prize from Sponsor in the last year also are not eligible to participate in the Contest. All federal, state, and local laws and regulations apply.

PRIZE: A total of three (3) winners (each, a “Winner”) will be awarded based on the number of successful referrals to Cells for Life at the end of the Contest Period. If there are not enough Referring Clients to give away each Prize, all Prizes will not be given out (for example, if Cells for Life only receives two Referred Clients from two Referring Clients, only two Prizes will be rewarded). Winners will receive the following Prizes:

• 1st Place: $500 CAD Gift Card
• 2nd Place: $350 CAD Gift Card
• 3rd Place: $200 CAD Gift Card

Cells for Life will email the Prize to the Winners within thirty (30) days of the end of the Contest Period. Cells for Life may substitute similar items of approximately similar or greater value if any or all the Prizes are not available.
