June 18th- We are celebrating our birthday and recognizing World Sickle Cell Day/Juneteenth with a blood drive! Why you ask? “More than 100,000 individuals in the U.S. suffer from sickle cell disease - an enduring and often invisible condition. The disease disproportionately affects individuals of African descent, many of whom rely on routine blood transfusions as an essential treatment to prevent life threatening complications. In fact, a single patient with sickle cell disease can require thousands of blood transfusions throughout their lifetime” (redcrossblood.org). Please consider signing up to donate. You never know when/if you or someone you love, with or without sickle cell, will need a blood transfusion. Blood transfusions save lives.

Thank you to FMU’s AFRICAN-AMERICAN FACULTY & STAFF COALITION for allowing our drive to take place as part of their annual Juneteenth Celebration.
Focusing on 1. Health, 2. Family, 3. Education, and 4. Community! We foster “for” giving hearts and responsible citizenship. #FGH #fourgivinghearts #Juneteenth #sicklecelldisease #sicklecelltrait #sicklecellwarriors #sicklecell #sicklecelladvocacy #WorldSickleCellDay #donateblood #FGHBirthday
