Event Description

The 8th Annual Warriors Convention is happening virtually on August 26th - 29th, 2021 and it is almost here. This meeting is designed for sickle cell warriors and caregivers, which is why ALL warriors and caregivers automatically receive the $25 scholarship for registration. Can’t afford $25? Do not worry, you can get your registration completely covered by simply emailing Maria Rivera at mrivera@sicklecellconsortium.org. Remember, to receive your registration package in the mail you must register by MONDAY, August 16th, 2021 by 11:59 PM EST. Do not forget to pick your lunch service and t-shirt size during the registration process as well.

Just like always, we’ll have our Children’s Track, Men’s Track, Trait Track, Caregiver Sessions, and Young Adult Track. We’re also bringing back the "Citizen Scientists: Unpacking the Science of Sickle Cell'' model for our Community Conversations. Our conversations will include the following topics:

Sickle Cell, Holistic Health, and Nutrition

Let's Talk About Pain, Insomnia, and Fatigue

The Power of Advocacy

Injustice in the Emergency Department, Sickle Cell Stigmatization & Social Justice

Sickle Cell Symptoms & Side-effects

Curative Therapies: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
