The 6th annual walk for education turned out to be our most successful walk yet, thanks to all of our warriors, caregivers, volunteers, and more, who took their time out to support this event.
We fundraised a total of $1740.00 towards supporting the goals of the annual walk and the organizations daily mission. We couldn't be more thankful to everyone who made this possible.
The professional photographs taken by our photographer will be shared via email and social media when they become available. We hope that you all will participate in the 7th Annual Walk next year and help us continue to honor National Sickle Cell awareness month and Sickle Cell warriors world wide.
