FGH's Third Annual "Keep SEALing in Hope" Sickle Cell Disease Awareness Banquet
This is a FREE awareness event during RARE DISEASE AWARENESS MONTH for all persons/families affected by sickle cell disease, those advocating for awareness, and those wanting to be more informed. Donations are appreciated and can be made at www.fourgivinghearts.orgJoin us for great entertainment, food, and information!
Four Giving Hearts supports various causes. Many of our efforts coordinate with the assigned awareness day, week, and month for each cause, etc. We, however, advocate for sickle cell disease (SCD) and sickle cell trait (SCT) awareness year-round.
Why SCD?
We aim to educate those near and far about SCD in memory of RJ McKnight, one of the hearts in “Four” Giving Hearts, and ALL warriors. "Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a common inherited blood disorder in the United States, affecting an estimated 90,000 to 100,000 Americans. SCD can lead to lifelong disabilities and reduce average life expectancy" (cdc.gov).1
