Today was another great advocacy day. We had a successful 8th birthday advocating for all things sickle cell disease awareness (World Sickle Cell Day is June 19th, Juneteenth), mental health wellness, etc. Thank you to all those who stopped by our table and gave us their time/attention.

We ask that you consider donating June 18th! “For a small percentage of the population, finding someone else with the same blood type can be as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack. Patients who require frequent blood transfusions as part of their treatment, like those with sickle cell disease or thalassemia, can need close blood type matches to prevent these patients from developing complications from their transfusion therapy. The best blood type match for patients with rare blood types often comes from donors of the same race or similar ethnicity” (redcrossblood.org).

“More than 100,000 people in the United States have sickle cell disease.
Sickle cell disease affects 1 out of every 365 Black or African American births.
People with sickle cell disease may need as many as 100 units of blood each year.
Your blood donations could help alleviate the symptoms of someone living with sickle cell disease, or even help save their life” (redcrossblood.org).
