About Us
Founded by Eva W. Mack in 1971, the Sickle Cell Foundation began as a mission to support those living with Sickle Cell Disease. The SCF has been on the forefront of improving the quality of health, life, and services for individuals, families, and the communities affected by Sickle Cell Disease and Trait.
Over time, our work has grown to address critical needs across our community, guided by compassion, advocacy, and a commitment to lasting change. Today, as SCF we serve vulnerable individuals through three core programs:
- A Fatherhood Program - Equips fathers with skills and support needed to build strong, engaged families.
- An Infant Mortality & Maternal Health Program - Provides education, resources, and self-care support to promote healthy pregnancies and newborns.
- Sickle Cell Support - Services that champion those affected through awareness, access to treatment, and community-based care.
By planting the seed of opportunity and securing access to education and care, we help families move forward with hope while building a strong foundation for our community's future.
Our various programs help us fulfill our mission "To empower individuals, families, and communities to thrive through education, mentoring, and comprehensive support."
