Join us in supporting a vital community resource.Forty-three years ago, two prominent Atlanta physicians envisioned the idea of a community based organization focused on the needs of Georgia families affected with Sickle Cell Disease and Sickle Cell Trait. Since then, the Sickle Cell Foundation of Georgia has worked continuously to pursue this mission through testing, counseling, advocacy and support. Over the years the Foundation's leadership has included a number of distinguished Georgians, including Dr. Bruce Shropshire, Juanita Baranco, and Verna Cleveland.
Verna recently stepped down as Chairman of the Board, and I have been asked to succeed here in that role. We will mark that transaction with an event at our office on Wednesday, January 28th. Details are below. I hope you will join us as we seek to broaden the circle of support and update community stakeholders regarding the Foundation's latest initiatives.
If you need any additional information beyond that set forth below, please let us know. I hope you will join us on January 28th.
Please joins us for a Reception Welcoming
