Stronger Together Blood Drive & Community Awareness Event

About the Event

oin us for another Stronger Together Blood Drive, a powerful day of unity, compassion, and life-saving action. Hosted by The B Strong Group and other community advocacy organizations, this event brings together our community to honor those living with sickle cell disease and to support the critical need for diverse blood donations and the need for sickle cell awareness in our community.

Every drop makes a difference—especially for patients who rely on closely matched blood for regular transfusions. By donating, you’re not only saving lives, you’re standing in solidarity with families like ours.

Join us for our lunch & learn where you will learn more about sickle cell disease from a representative from Vertex Pharmaceuticals,  hear the lived experience from our young adult patients: From Pain to Power, and hear from the local community based organizations and community partners.

Let’s show what’s possible when we come together for a purpose bigger than us. Whether you’re a first-time donor or a returning hero, we can’t wait to see you there. Together, we are stronger. 💪🏾🩸

Thank you, Vertex Pharmaceuticals.

Thank you, American Red Cross.
