June was a wonderful month of celebration in honor of World Sickle Cell Day. Thank you to everyone who participated in our exciting and educational events.
After hosting 2 successful drives this school year, Burgard High School earned a $250 Scholarship from the American Red Cross of WNY to use for a student headed off to a higher education program. We are extremely proud of our student volunteers, and we look forward to future blood drives and scholarship dollar earning opportunities.
World Sickle Cell Day events was a success.
The month of June was full of events that shined the light on Sickle Cell disease. These events included the Juneteenth parade March, The buffalo Bisons game, a blood drive, an educational webinar with Vertex and more... We would like to thank everyone who volunteered their time and supported these events. And to our warriors, families and supporters, for showing their commitment to our organizations mission.
We would like to give a special thanks to Nurse Practitioner Farah Gaillard, from Vertex pharmaceuticals for delivering such a wonderful and educational presentation for u during our Support group virtual educational webinar. We hope that are families were able to learn a lot from this experience. For more information on vertex pharmaceuticals treatment initiatives please visit their site (link posted on our page).
