APPRECIATION MESSAGE
On behalf of the Sickle Cell Warriors Support Organization (SCWASO), we extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who contributed to the success of our 2026 World Sickle Cell Day Celebration.
It wasn't just an event, the hall was filled with strength, stories and solidarity. Warriors shared their journeys, professors lend their expertise, and students left with more awareness than they walked in with.
We were honoured to host dignitaries including the Vice chancellor of Ahmadu Bello University Zaria, ably represented by the Director of the University Health Services Prof M. Dauda Maigatari, Prof Abdulaziz Hassan, Prof Aliyu Dahiru Waziri, Prof Aisha indo mamman, Prof Hafsa Ahmad and many other dignitaries.
Together, we broke stigma, spread facts and reminded everyone that warriors don't fight alone.
We sincerely appreciate our distinguished speakers and guest speakers for sharing their knowledge, experiences, and expertise, helping to educate, inspire, and empower our community.
Our profound thanks go to all our collaborators, partners, sponsors, student associations, volunteers, and supporters whose dedication, resources, and commitment made this event possible. Your partnership continues to strengthen the fight against sickle cell disease and amplify the voices of warriors.
To all the students, healthcare professionals, advocates, and guests who attended, thank you for your presence, participation, and encouragement. Your engagement made the event impactful and meaningful.
Most importantly, we celebrate and appreciate our brave Sickle Cell Warriors. Your resilience, courage, and determination remain the inspiration behind everything we do. This day was dedicated to you, and we remain committed to advocating for better awareness, support, equity, and quality of life for every warrior.
As we reflect on a successful celebration, we look forward to building stronger partnerships and creating even greater impact together.
Thank you for standing with us, supporting the cause, and helping make the 2026 World Sickle Cell Day Celebration a memorable success.
Together, we can close the gap and promote equity in sickle cell disease.❤️❤️❤️
