Today, on World Sickle Cell Day, we celebrate more than a diagnosis—we celebrate a community.

We celebrate the warriors who face each day with courage. We celebrate the parents, caregivers, siblings, healthcare professionals, advocates, and supporters who walk alongside them every step of the journey. We celebrate the families whose love, strength, and resilience continue to inspire us all.

Living with sickle cell disease requires extraordinary determination, yet our community continues to rise above challenges, pursue dreams, break barriers, and create hope for future generations. Today, we honor every individual whose story reflects the power of perseverance and the strength found in unity.

At the Sickle Cell Disease Foundation, we remain committed to educating, advocating, empowering, and supporting those affected by sickle cell disease while working toward a future where every warrior receives the care, compassion, and opportunities they deserve.

To every warrior and every family represented in our community: We see you. We celebrate you. We stand with you.

Together, we are stronger. Together, we are unstoppable.

❤️ Happy World Sickle Cell Day! ❤️

Today, we celebrate Juneteenth—a day that honors freedom, resilience, culture, and the unbreakable spirit of Black people.

We celebrate the generations who dreamed, persevered, and paved the way for a brighter future. We celebrate the strength that lives within our families, our communities, our history, and our heritage. We celebrate the innovators, leaders, caregivers, advocates, and everyday heroes whose contributions continue to shape our world.

As an organization that serves many individuals and families within the Black community, the Sickle Cell Disease Foundation proudly recognizes the courage, determination, and resilience that have always been at the heart of our people. Through every challenge, we continue to rise, support one another, and create lasting change for future generations.

May we continue to walk in strength, lead with purpose, and inspire the next generation to dream boldly and live fully.

Happy Juneteenth from the Sickle Cell Disease Foundation. ❤️🖤💚

With summer making its grand entrance here are some swimming pool tips to make sure us warriors stay healthy while getting our swim on. Make sure to take a warm shower before and after swimming, if you can make sure the pool is heated but if not, no getting in and out the pool you’re either in or out, you can only be in the pool (1hr max) to be safe, and have warm clothing to dress after. Make sure you all have fun but also stay healthy this summer! And as always if you need help with getting any resources please reach out to us here at the foundation and we’ll be able to assist you! ✌🏾🌙❤️
—————-
Con el verano haciendo su gran entrada, aquí hay algunos consejos para la piscina para asegurarnos de que los guerreros nos mantengamos saludables mientras nadamos. Asegúrese de tomar una ducha caliente antes y después de nadar, si puede asegurarse de que la piscina esté climatizada, pero si no, no entre y salga de la piscina, ya sea dentro o fuera, solo puede estar en la piscina (1 hora como máximo) para estar seguro, y tenga ropa abrigada para vestirse después. ¡Asegúrense de que todos se diviertan, pero también se mantengan saludables este verano! Y como siempre, si necesita ayuda para obtener algún recurso, ¡póngase en contacto con nosotros aquí en la fundación y podremos ayudarle! ✌🏾🌙❤️

06/16/2026

Hydroxyurea is the most common and the first Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved drug to prevent SCD complications. It’s main action is to increase fetal hemoglobin. Hydroxyurea has been used in SCD since 1995. It’s been demonstrated to prevent or minimize SCD complications. Standard recommendations are to start it in all babies with Sickle Cell Anemia (SS disease) and S Beta Zero Thalassemia (Sβ0) disease by 9 months old. Hydroxyurea’s job is to prevent SCD complications from developing. Overall, the use of Hydroxyurea has been associated with cutting the risk of hospitalizations, pain, and other complications in half. These complicatios include the need for blood transfusions. Research on Hydroxyurea seems to show that people who take it for a long time have improved brain functioning.

No Warrior should go without these essentials!🌙❤️

La hidroxiurea es el medicamento más común y el primer medicamento aprobado por la Administración de Alimentos y Medicamentos (FDA) para prevenir las complicaciones del SCD. Su acción principal es aumentar la hemoglobina fetal. La hidroxiurea se ha utilizado en SCD desde 1995. Se ha demostrado que previene o minimiza las complicaciones del SCD. Las recomendaciones estándar son iniciarlo en todos los bebés con anemia de células falciformes (enfermedad SS) y enfermedad de S Beta Zero Talasemia (Sβ0) a los 9 meses de edad. El trabajo de la hidroxiurea es evitar que se desarrollen complicaciones con SCD. En general, el uso de hidroxiurea se ha asociado con reducir a la mitad el riesgo de hospitalizaciones, dolor y otras complicaciones. Estas complicaciones incluyen la necesidad de transfusiones de sangre. La investigación sobre la hidroxiurea parece mostrar que las personas que la toman durante mucho tiempo han mejorado el funcionamiento cerebral.

Ningún guerrero debería ir sin estos elementos esenciales! 🌙❤️

“Being part of the Warrior Circle is deeply meaningful to me, as my husband is a sickle cell Warrior himself. The Warrior Circle Support group on Discord was built to be a constant lifeline for warriors and caregivers-open 24/7 for connection, understanding, and support, with monthly meetings that strengthen our community.
Through my business, I had the honor of
creating the Warrior Circle logo, along with registration flyers and merchandise whose proceeds directly support the mission.

The logo is a family effort, and it’s inspired by the Sickle Cell Disease Foundation’s logo design .We used two cells that come together to form a circle, with a ribbon down the middle and inside the ribbon, there’s an outline of California, representing where the Warrior Circle began. The ribbon
unites both cells meaning that Even though we’re far apart, we come together as one community.
If you’re interested in learning more about the Warrior Circle or how to get involved, just head over to Slfdesigns.com and click on the Warrior Circle tab. There, you’ll find information about sickle cell disease and the trait, plus links to the Sickle Cell Disease Foundation. You can also check out how to join the support group (for anyone with sickle cell or a caregiver), browse merchandise, and even make a donation if you’d like.”
