Sickle Cell Foundation of MN Details
Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is a disease of the red blood cells. It is the most common genetic blood disease in the world, yet it is the least talked about. In the U.S. alone, it is estimated that more than 100,000 people are affected by this disorder and 1 in 12 people of African/African-American descent carry the sickle cell gene (trait). While SCD primarily affects people of African/African-American descent, it also affects other ethic groups, including people from the Middle East, Greece, Italy, Latin America, and India.Sickle Cell Foundation of MN (SCFMN) mission is to improve the quality of life for individuals and communities in Minnesota who are affected by sickle cell disease (SCD). We strive to accomplish this mission through activities, programs and community approaches that support healthy individuals, families, and communities.SCFMN is the only active community-based organization that exists to create education, awareness, and support for the Minnesota sickle cell community. We rely on volunteers and donations to get the job done. We appeal to volunteers and community support (including in-kind donations) from churches, schools, community groups, and individual people with a passion to make a difference in communities who are affected by inequitable access to health care.
