🩸 Be the Match. Give the Gift of Life. 🩸

We're honored to welcome author & activist LOUIS L. REED as our VIP Guest Donor at the World Sickle Cell Awareness Blood Drive, part of Juneteenth New Haven 2026!

📅 Saturday, June 20 | 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM
📍 Dixwell "Q" House · 197 Dixwell Ave, New Haven, CT

🍽️ Platelets for a Plate: every donor receives a soulful meal in support of Sickle Cell Disease Warriors.

Sickle cell most affects people of African descent, and donors of African ancestry are especially needed. Your blood is far more likely to match a patient in need, and one donation can change a life. 💪🏾
