A Heartfelt Thank You for an Unforgettable World Sickle Cell Day!

                    Dear Sickle Cell Community,

    On June 22, 2025, DeFremery Park in Oakland, CA, came alive with joy, connection, and empowerment during the World Sickle Cell Day Health Fair & Celebration. As the proud fiscal sponsor of The Pull-Up, a dynamic grassroots collective led by young Sickle Cell Warriors, we at Sickle Cell Anemia Awareness San Francisco (SCAASF) were honored to co-host this incredible event, and it was a resounding success because of you!

 

    From 12–4 PM, our community gathered for an afternoon filled with education, celebration, and radical health advocacy. Your presence, energy, and support brought this vision to life, marking a powerful moment in our shared journey. With over a decade of advocacy behind us, SCAASF was thrilled to partner with The Pull-Up for their inaugural World Sickle Cell Day event, and we’re already looking forward to what’s next!

 

                           A Special Thank You
    Your commitment to raising awareness and uplifting Sickle Cell Warriors made this day truly special. Whether you attended, volunteered, or spread the word, your contribution strengthened our community and amplified our mission.

Stay tuned for updates on future events, and let’s keep the momentum going! 

 

                        With deepest gratitude,
    The Sickle Cell Anemia Awareness San Francisco                                         (SCAASF) Team
