Description

The Metropolitan Seattle Sickle Cell Task Force is a grass roots community based organization committed to helping people with sickle cell disease in our local community. The Task Force was established in 1994 as a private non-profit organization. Our mission is to provide education and support to the community and to enhance the overall well-being of those afflicted with various forms of sickle cell disease and their families. We work to disseminate information and provide support to people with sickle cell disease, young and old.

This year we are hosting 2 events (virtual and in-person)  to bring awareness and raise money for those impacted by sickle cell disease.         

 

 

You are welcomed to participate in one or both events!
