A national awareness campaign to celebrate World Sickle Cell Awareness Day on June 19, 2022.

We invite you to join with friends, family, neighbors and others in your community, as people around the nation and across the globe, host and hold local gatherings to shine the light on sickle cell disease. Together, we must and will find a universal cure for sickle cell disease!

SiNERGe stands for the Sickle Cell Improvement in the Northeast Region through education, a project which is funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). The SiNERGe project is managed by Principal Investigators (PIs) at Johns Hopkins, who work with Site Principal Investigators in thirteen states, the District of Columbia, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, to improve access to high quality care for sickle patients.

There are four regions in the United States with similar projects. Each region has its own principal investigators, objectives and goals.
