Every year, SCDAA is proud to join communities across the globe to recognize World Sickle Cell Day. The international awareness day aims to increase the public’s knowledge and understanding of sickle cell disease and the challenges experienced by patients and their families and caregivers.
Shine the Light is a national awareness campaign to celebrate World Sickle Cell Day. We invite you to join with friends, family, neighbors and others in your community, as people around the nation and across the globe host and hold local gatherings to shine the light on sickle cell disease. Together, we must and will find a universal cure for sickle cell disease! Learn more.
The global theme for 2026 is “Closing the Survival Gap: Equity in Sickle Cell Disease.” Join the Global Alliance of Sickle Cell Disease Organizations (GASCDO) and Cayenne Wellness Center for their 24-hour event in observance of this important subject. Click here to register.
On June 16, the SCDAA National Office hosted its annual Sickletini Happy Hour in honor of World Sickle Cell Day. This year, our virtual format allowed individuals from across the world to join us and “shine the light on sickle cell.” Thank you to everyone who joined us!
