Join us for the 2nd Annual Sickle Cell Walk & Roll, a powerful community event dedicated to raising awareness, fostering connection, and advancing care for individuals living with sickle cell disease. This family-friendly event welcomes participants of all ages and abilities to walk, roll, or support in a way that is meaningful to them.
This year, we are excited to expand our reach by offering a virtual participation option, allowing supporters from across the region—and beyond—to join us. Whether you attend in person or participate from home, your involvement helps amplify our mission and impact.
We also invite those who are unable to participate to contribute through direct donations, ensuring everyone has a way to support this important cause.
All proceeds from the Walk & Roll and donations will go directly to the Corewell Health Foundation, specifically supporting:
* Enhanced care delivery for individuals with sickle cell disease
* Innovative programs to improve patient outcomes
* Efforts to optimize treatment, reduce disparities, and elevate the patient experience
Together, we are building a future where individuals living with sickle cell disease receive equitable, compassionate, and cutting-edge care.
