Stem cell donors are urgently needed, since the pool of the above donors is extremely small. Process is pretty simple: they take the blood out of your arm like an IV, spin it through a centrifuge to extract the bone marrow stem cells, and return the blood through another IV line. It takes a few hours, and the only difficult part is that you get really cold from having your blood outside your body. They give you blankets and a heater.
All you have to do is fill out a few simple papers, swab the inside of your mouth in a few spots, package it all up and send it away. They'll follow up with a few letters and phone calls. Overall, a simple way to become part of a program and given the chance to do something really good.
