National Sickle Cell Advocacy Day 2020 — Sickle Cell Disease Association of America – CANCELED
Please join the Sickle Cell Disease Association of America as we advocate for those affected by sickle cell disease. On Advocacy Day, we focus on key legislative issues that are important to individuals living with SCD and their families, including promoting stable funding for research, better healthcare access, expanded programs, and increased education and awareness for the SCD community and programs throughout our nation.
The Advocacy Day is postponed until Spring 2021 due to the coronavirus.
Please stay tuned for further updates.
