Cayenne Wellness Center Website Cover Events 2026

We have several upcoming events planned over the next few months—now is the perfect time to mark your calendars and join us.

Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) touches not only the body but also the daily lives of individuals and families in profound ways. That’s why education is essential. When communities understand sickle cell, myths lose their power, stigma begins to fade, and compassion has room to grow.

Learning about the realities faced by SCD Warriors—including chronic pain, organ complications, and limited treatment options—strengthens our ability to advocate for better care, stronger support systems, and meaningful policy change. Education also plays a critical role in early diagnosis, helping individuals access care sooner and improve long-term health outcomes.

When we prioritize sickle cell education, we empower communities to engage in research, fundraising, and advocacy—and to stand alongside those living with SCD with knowledge and purpose. Together, we can help build a world where individuals with sickle cell are understood, supported, and given the opportunity to thrive.

As details become available, the links below will be live.
