Giving Campaigns

Rare Disease Day

Rare Disease Day is recognized on February 28 (or February 29 on a leap year). This event raises the general public’s awareness of rare diseases like sickle cell disease. Our Rare Disease Day campaign rallies our community for a one-day fundraiser to make a collective impact on the lives of those affected by sickle cell disease.

Sickletini Happy Hour

In recognition of World Sickle Cell Day on June 19, SCDAA hosts a Sickletini Happy Hour fundraiser. This event has taken place both in person in Baltimore, Maryland, and virtually. During the event, participants learn more about SCDAA’s mission, enjoy a demonstration of our signature drink—the Sickletini—and connect with others in the sickle cell community, all while raising funds for a good cause.

Giving Tuesday

Giving Tuesday is celebrated annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. SCDAA is proud to participate in this global day of giving as we raise crucial funds to continue our mission.
