Sickle Cell Initiative Blood drives with our partners at The American Redcross of WNY.
Partnering with the American Redcross has been very beneficial to Sickle cell warriors Worldwide. the initiatives work to ensure the best blood donor match for individuals impacted by Sickle Cell disease who often rely on blood transfusions to treat symptoms of the disease.
DKY 1 in 3 African American donors are a match for patients with sickle cell disease? New blood donors are urgently needed! Roll-up your sleeves for patients with Sickle Cell disease.
Together we can make a difference.
