November 16, 2007 (FPRC) -- Cedar Knolls, NJ – Just in time for the holidays, LifebankUSA(TM) is announcing a special, limited time offer for their cord blood and Placenta•Cord banking services.
If a current client refers a friend or family member to LifebankUSA by December 31, 2007, both will receive a holiday gift!
If the friend or family member enrolls in cord blood banking, the current client will get one year of free storage for each friend who enrolls and each friend will receive their choice of either a $150 prepaid gift card or a Zooper Twist stroller ($180 value).
If the friend or family member enrolls in Placenta•Cord banking (an exclusive service that banks stem cells from both the placenta and the umbilical cord), the current client will get two years of free storage for each friend who enrolls. Each friend will receive their choice of either a $250 prepaid gift card or a Zooper Hula stroller ($300 value).
Prepaid gift cards can be used anywhere—at the store or online—and make holiday shopping fun and convenient. The best benefits, however, come from having the peace of mind of knowing that your newborn’s cells will be with LifebankUSA, a company that:
• Puts its clients first – more than 99% of our clients have said that they would recommend LifebankUSA to friends and family
• Is the only company that offers placental stem cell banking
• Was founded by renowned practicing physicians and research scientists
• Holds the most highly recognized quality credentials, including FDA registration, AABB accreditation, and ISO certification
• Actively works in furthering both placental and cord blood research – no other cord blood bank can make this claim
• Is part of Celgene, an S&P 500 publicly traded and reputable company that develops cancer therapies and has a disclosed market value of more than $25 billion.
By saving cord blood and placental stem cells, families get:
• Protection for the Family: Help protect your baby and your family for the future.
• The Potential to Treat More Than 80 Diseases: Stem cells collected at birth can be used today to treat leukemia, certain other cancers, and some blood disorders. Research on diabetes, heart damage, stroke damage, Alzheimer’s disease, and Parkinson’s disease is underway.
• A Once-in-Your-Baby’s-Lifetime Opportunity: Your only opportunity to save your baby’s placental and cord blood stem cells is at birth or they will probably be thrown away.
• Maximize Your Potential Lifesaving Investment: LifebankUSA™ is the first and only cord blood bank to offer Placenta•Cord banking, collecting stem cells from both the placenta and the umbilical cord. This significantly increases the number of stem cells collected and stored.
LifebankUSA encourages its clients to take advantage of this special holiday offer and give the gift of peace—the peace of mind that comes with knowing you’ve helped protect your baby and your family for the future.

###
The chance that a child will use his/her own stored cord blood stem cells during his/her lifetime is estimated at 1 in 400 (J.J. Nietfeld and F. Verter). These odds may increase if there is a family history of certain blood disorders or cancers. The potential risks and benefits of stem cell transplantation vary and depend on many factors, such as the amount and quality of the cord blood stem cells collected, the HLA compatibility between recipient and donor, and the client’s overall health.
