Dreamsickle Kids Foundation, Nevada’s first recognized Sickle Cell community-based organization, has been leading the charge for SCD support and advocacy in the state since 2018.
Over the last seven years, we have accomplished major milestones, including:
- Passing Nevada’s first Sickle Cell Bill (AB 254), expanding access to life-saving therapies for patients.
- Opening Nevada’s first comprehensive Sickle Cell clinic, ensuring patients receive specialized care.
- Securing Nevada's first federal Sickle Cell Disease grant, driving further support and resources for SCD patients.
- Supporting 500+ Community Members w/ Emergency Needs: Providing direct support to Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) patients and families by assisting with essentials such as food, housing, utilities, transportation, prescription copayments, and more.
Come out to support this important cause and help us continue to improve the lives of Sickle Cell patients in our community.
