September is National Sickle Cell Awareness Month—a time to shine a light on sickle cell disease and the impact blood donations can have on those living with this inherited red blood disorder.
Why Sickle Cell Awareness Matters:
- It is estimated that about 1 in 13 Black or African American babies in the U.S. is born with sickle cell trait, and 1 in 365 are affected by sickle cell disease.
- Individuals with sickle cell disease may require up to 100 units of blood each year.
- Awareness helps reduce stigma, strengthen advocacy and build a supportive community.
