Children’s Sickle Cell Foundation Programs

Program Description

Our programs are geared toward children with sickle cell disease and their families to empower them with the necessary support that is needed to cope well and manage life with a chronic illness. Our Year round Educational Support program gives homework retrieval and loaner laptops to the school-aged child so that they can keep up with their schoolwork when absent due to illness or hospitalization. The Learn2Swim and Read2Lead programs are additional fun and educational experiences that remove barriers to these activities. The monthly Family Support program is for Parents and children where we provide a light dinner and a current topic related to SCD.
