Empowering and Strengthening the Sickle Cell Community through Belief and Investment.
The Jasmine Sickle Cell Warriors Foundation Inc. emerged from the profound loss of our Executive Director, Ja’Quan R. Phillips' beloved sister, Jasmine R. Phillips. Tragically, Jasmine's life was cut short by the relentless grip of Sickle Cell, a chronic illness that affects countless individuals. In her memory, our foundation was established with a heartfelt mission to promote Sickle Cell awareness, particularly within communities of color.
At the core of our vision lies a steadfast commitment to be actively engaged in every facet that influences the funding, research, and knowledge surrounding Sickle Cell. We strive to be a driving force, leaving no stone unturned in our pursuit of positive change.
Over the past six years, The Jasmine Sickle Cell Warriors Foundation, Inc. has been a beacon of hope and empowerment for numerous families within the Sickle Cell community. Our foundation has become a trusted source of strength and support, offering a haven for those affected by this challenging condition.
Understanding the health risks associated with Sickle Cell is paramount, and our dedication to spreading awareness remains unwavering. Through education and advocacy, we endeavor to ensure that everyone comprehends the impact of Sickle Cell, especially within our close-knit community.
Together, we aspire to create a world where the burden of Sickle Cell is eased, where research progresses unabated, and where knowledge empowers individuals to make informed decisions. As we forge ahead, fueled by the memory of Jasmine's indomitable spirit, we are resolute in our pursuit of a future where no family endures the pain of premature loss due to this disease.
With love, compassion, and fierce determination, The Jasmine Sickle Cell Warriors Foundation stands united, steadfast in our mission to create a brighter and healthier tomorrow for all those touched by Sickle Cell.
