Sponsor A Warrior (12th Annual Convention)
It is our goal to sponsor as many warriors as we can. $1,050 will cover lodging, all special event tickets, access to the T3 Expo, and will reduce registration to $5.
The 12th Annual Sickle Cell Warriors Convention is the largest and most impactful gathering of individuals living with sickle cell disease, caregivers, advocates, researchers, and health professionals in the United States. More than just a conference, it is a life-affirming reunion, where families affected by sickle cell come together to learn, connect, and empower one another in a supportive, hope-filled environment.
Over the course of six days, attendees participate in:
- Educational sessions on emerging treatments, clinical trials, and disease management
- Mental and emotional wellness workshops for warriors and caregivers
- Youth, teen, and young adult tracks, including creative therapy and leadership development
- Policy and advocacy training to equip families for action in their local communities
- Healing circles, storytelling, and cultural celebrations that uplift and affirm identity
- Access to specialists, researchers, and service providers working at the cutting edge of care and cure
This year’s convention theme, “A Sickle Cell Family Reunion”, highlights the profound bond among individuals affected by sickle cell. It recognizes that those who share this journey are more than patients and advocates; they are family, united by experience and strengthened by community.
Why Sponsor a Sickle Cell Warrior or Caregiver to Attend?
For many individuals living with sickle cell disease, and their caregivers, attending this convention is a life-changing experience, but also an unattainable dream due to financial hardship. Many warriors face chronic pain, disability, job insecurity, or limited access to care. Caregivers, often parents or relatives, sacrifice daily to provide support and stability.
Your sponsorship will:
- Cover lodging, several meals, and registration for someone who could not otherwise attend
- Provide access to vital education on new treatments, self-care strategies, and health equity
- Offer emotional support and healing, reducing isolation and burnout
- Empower individuals to become advocates, leaders, and changemakers in their own communities
- Show a warrior or caregiver they are seen, valued, and not alone
By sponsoring a sickle cell warrior or caregiver, you help open the door to knowledge, belonging, and transformation. Your gift is not just financial - it’s a powerful investment in resilience, hope, and health equity.
