We had an amazing time wrapping up October at the Sickle Cell Disease Association of America, Inc. — National’s 52nd Annual Convention, learning about opportunities to advance care and collaboration in #sicklecelldisease and connecting with #sicklecellwarriors. Check out some of our favorite moments below!
And just like that, it’s time to say goodbye. Day three was the perfect send-off for this year’s event. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make this year the best yet! P.S. – mark your calendars… we are excited to announce that the 53rd Annual National Convention will be held in Concord, North Carolina, on October 15-18, 2025! See you then. #SCDAAMOMENTUM #SCDAA2024 #SCDAAinATL

I am an Experienced Policy Analyst, Policy Director, Partnership Director, and Patient Advocate with over a decade of legislative victories and successful patient advocacy engagement.
I’m deeply grateful for this year’s Champion Award. I stand on the shoulders of so many and can’t name them all, but thank you for the trust and opportunity to advocate tirelessly for the sickle cell community. 🩸🌙🫶🏾 Sickle Cell Disease Association of America, Inc. — National
Self-care checkpoint! Convention has flown by. Do you have a long day of travel ahead of you? Take a moment to assess your energy as we reach the end of the day. Do you have what you need to stay healthy? It’s not too late to take a break or modify your plans if you need rest. Our respite room is still open if you need it! #SCDAAMOMENTUM #SCDAA2024 #SCDAAinATL
Last chance! Today is your final opportunity to cross any final convention to-dos off your list. Visit the Hertz Nazaire exhibit in the Overlook Room, snap a photo at the step and repeat and stop by the SCDAA Convention Store by 2 p.m. to purchase a memento of this year’s incredible event. Thank you for joining us! #SCDAAMOMENTUM #SCDAA2024 #SCDAAinATL
Day three is starting up!

We’re strutting our stuff tonight! Hit the runway with us and show the world your #SickleCellStyle. #SCDAAMOMENTUM #SCDAA2024 #SCDAAinATL

If you missed the Grand Opening last night, there is still time to visit the Nod to “Naz” exhibit before the convention ends. Follow the floor signs to the Overlook Room and take some time to mediate on the profound experience of sickle cell and the resilience of our community. #SCDAAMOMENTUM #SCDAA2024 #SCDAAinATL
