Sickle Cell Sabbath Weekend (Statewide - Ohio)
2023-09-16 - 2023-09-17 | OH
Sickle Cell Sabbath is an interfaith outreach campaign designed to educate and increase awareness within the faith-based community about sickle cell disease and the need for minority blood donors. Although sickle cell disease affects persons of African ancestry at higher rates, individuals with heritage from Spanish-speaking regions in the Western Hemisphere (South America, the Caribbean, and Central America), the Middle East, India, and Mediterranean countries such as Turkey, Greece, and Italy can also be affected. The goal of the Sickle Cell Sabbath Campaign is simple: increase the number of available blood donors within these various ethnic groups.
A statewide initiative, Sickle Cell Sabbath, is a coordinated, cooperative effort between the ODH Sickle Cell Services Program, the State-Funded Regional Sickle Cell Projects, regional blood programs in Ohio (participation may vary), and various statewide and/or local faith-based groups and organizations. All religious denominations are encouraged to participate. Sickle Cell Sabbath is observed annually on the third weekend (Saturday and Sunday) during September, National Sickle Cell Awareness Month.
For more information on the Sickle Cell Disease or the Sabbath Campaign contact us at 614-228-0157.

About this event

The Meesha C. Saxton Fund (MCS~ Fund) is a nonprofit 501c3 organization serving individuals impacted by sickle cell disease. This year, the MCS~ Fund will host their 5th annual fundraiser, Unmasking for Sickle Cell Masquerade Ball. This event supports initiatives that reduce barriers for individuals who are aggrieved with sickle cell disease. Respectfully, we seek your support as a Title Sponsor for our upcoming event at the $10,000 dollar level. We thank you in advance for considering our organization. Enclosed you will find our sponsorship packet with descriptions of sponsor benefits and other sponsorship opportunities.

Outside of sickle cell debilitating physical and mental effects, it is often a fatal disease. When people with sickle cell experience a flare up, the individual becomes sick and often hospitalized. This creates a situation where they can’t work, which ultimately means lost wages and financial hardship. When you donate to the MCS~ Fund, you help us accomplish our mission of assisting those affected by sickle cell with essential needs such as rent subsidy, shelter, food, transportation, and utility bills. We are actively seeking to raise funds to assist these affected individuals, but unable to meet our goals without your help. That’s particularly why I am reaching out for support of our annual fundraiser event held on World Sickle Cell Day June 19th on the Nautica Queen Cleveland Dining Cruise Ship, 1153 Main Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio 44113, Time: 5pm
Again, there are various levels of sponsorship opportunities enclosed. Please choose the level of participation that best fits, and in turn we’ll help meet the needs of the countless individuals and families affected by Sickle Cell Disease. We hope that we can count on you to make this year’s event one of our best. MCS~ Fund is a 501(c) (3) organization. Your Donation is tax deductible.
I would love to speak with you directly. I will reach out to you in the coming weeks to discuss further. I also can be reached at (216) 240-4121. Or by email at mcsaxton.funds@gmail.com. I look forward to connecting with you soon. Thank you in advance for your generosity.
