People living with Sickle Cell endure profound health challenges that can overshadow their everyday lives. Their resilience and bravery transform these trials into extraordinary feats of strength, embodying the essence of superheroes. At the Crescent Foundation, we are committed to supporting these real-life champions, ensuring they have the resources to conquer their battles and thrive like the heroes they are.
Join us at the Sickle Cell Superheroes Soirée, where communities unite to celebrate heroic journeys and contribute to our $100k goal for Sickle Cell Awareness Month. This evening promises a powerful convergence of education, inspiration, and action, propelling our mission forward and expanding our impact across the region.
As we celebrate the organization’s achievements over five years of tireless advocacy and transformative changemaking, we invite you to step into our Superhero Experience to discover the impact of Crescent’s programming. Gain insight into our ambitious vision for the future through inspiring remarks from our Co-Founders and Board Members, and directly impact our heroic constituents as you bid in our silent auctions. Assemble in the spirit of heroism with bold bites and vibrant libations, and together, we can become the allies and advocates these superheroes need. Let’s forge a future where their strength is matched by our support.
This event is for guests 21 and over.
