1 out of every 16,500 Hispanic births; and
1 in 13 African-American babies who are born with the sickle cell trait.

🩸 DONATE BLOOD. SAVE A LIFE. SIGN UP TODAY!

Join us for the American Red Cross Blood Drive during the Empowered Wellness Foundation Rise & Thrive Back-to-School Community Health Fair.

📅 Saturday, August 8
🕙 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
📍 Wayman Palmer YMCA
200 E. Bancroft Street, Toledo, OH 43620

🎁 Eligible donors will receive a $40 Amazon gift card by email from the American Red Cross.

Your blood donation could be the difference between life and death for someone living with sickle cell disease.

Sickle cell disease affects approximately 100,000 people in the United States and disproportionately impacts people of African ancestry. Many individuals living with sickle cell rely on regular blood transfusions to prevent strokes, reduce painful crises, treat severe anemia, and improve their quality of life.

❤️ Sign up today, invite a friend, and help save lives. Your donation can bring hope to patients and families who depend on lifesaving blood every day.

While you’re there, enjoy the Rise & Thrive Community Health Fair, featuring free school and sports physicals, immunizations, vision and dental screenings, mental health and community resources, school supply giveaways, and more.

Together, we can help ensure that people living with sickle cell disease have access to the lifesaving blood they need.

45th National Assembly | Detroit, Michigan

After a full day of inspiring sessions, learning, and fellowship at the 45th National Assembly, the members of the Toledo (OH) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated gathered for a Friendship Dinner to reflect, reconnect, and enjoy each other's company.

The Assembly reminds us that while our commitment to service is what brings us together, the friendships we build and nurture are what sustain us. We're grateful for the opportunity to learn alongside thousands of phenomenal Link sisters and to share these moments together as a chapter.

Here's a look at our Friday group photo and an evening filled with laughter, conversation, and sisterhood.
