The Shine the Light on Sickle Cell Campaign is a day of community action to raise awareness about sickle cell disease on June 19, which has been designated by the United Nations as World Sickle Cell Awareness Day to acknowledge sickle cell disease as a global public health concern. We’re thrilled to recognize your participation in Shine the Light! The buildings and structures illuminated in red throughout the city on June 19 were an exciting, highly visible, inspiring acknowledgement of the importance of sickle cell awareness.
