OUR MISSION

Increase Awareness 

about the prevalence of Sickle Cell Anemia in numerous ethnic populations, its various forms, the options for treatment, the status of research, and the enormous resources needed to address this genetic condition. 



Enhance Treatment 

of this chronic illness and its many debilitating, even fatal, complications. 



Promote Prevention

 by encouraging all high risk populations to know their sickle cell status, 

educating caregivers, social service agencies, and communities about the 

genetic nature of the disease, as well as supporting genetic counseling

 when there is the presence of the sickle cell trait or disease. 



Advance the Cure

 by providing vital resources to support medical research efforts

to cure sickle cell disease.

WHO WE SERVE

  •  The Aaron Ardoin Foundation Supporting Sickle Cell Research & Education is helping to improve the lives of persons affected by sickle cell disease and has undertaken several efforts including: 


  • Engaging with community stakeholders to raise awareness of sickle cell disease.


  •  Providing grants to local community organizations to fund adult education workshops on sickle cell.


  •  Awarding grants to 501(c)(3) and non-profit organizations that support sickle cell disease research and education. Grants are awarded annually on a multi-year or one-year basis.  Past grants have established summer camps for children with Sickle Cell Disease and adult and family education workshops. 


  •  Endowing a Visiting Professorship for sickle cell disease.  The Aaron Ardoin Visiting Professorship on Sickle Cell at the Washington University School of Medicine is made possible through the support of David and Thelma Steward and World Wide Technology Inc., a St. Louis based high tech-company, to elevate awareness and the science of sickle cell disease.
