SICKLE CELL WALK/RUN FUNDRAISER
September is National Sickle Cell Awareness Month. First officially recognized by the federal government in 1983, National Sickle Cell Awareness Month calls attention to sickle cell disease (SCD), a genetic disease that researchers estimate affects between 90,000 and 100,000 Americans. (National Heart, Lungs and Blood Institute, 2)Sickle Cell Disease has a global impact affecting individuals of African, Hispanic, Native American; Asian; Mediterranean; Southern European and Middle Eastern ancestry. It is an inherited blood disorder that affects the red blood cells, sometimes leaving them in a sickled or crescent shape causing a build up in the arteries and the creation of blockages which deprive the organs and tissues of oxygen. This process leads to painful episodes and can ultimately damage the tissues and other vital organs, along with serious medical complications.To raise greater awareness about sickle cell disease, sickle cell trait and the importance of testing the Sickle Cell Disease Association of America, Philadelphia/ Delaware Valley Chapter in partnership with AFSCME District Council 33 will sponsor the 19th Annual Walter E. Brandon Sickle Cell 5k Walk/ Run Fundraiser on Saturday September 24, 2016 at Belmont Avenue & North Concourse Drive, across from the Please Touch Museum.In Service,Zemoria Brandon BSW l Administrator/ Social WorkerSickle Cell Disease Association of AmericaPhiladelphia/ Delaware Valley ChapterPhiladelphia Business & Technology Center5070 Parkside Avenue Suite 1404Philadelphia, PA. 19131P: 215-471-8686W: www.sicklecelldisorder.com ( agency website)W: http://www.firstgiving.com/sicklecellphiladelphia (online registration)

SEPTEMBER 14, 2016
On behalf of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, Inc. (CBCF), I am pleased to invite you to attend our Sojourner Truth Legacy Project (STLP) events during the 46th Annual Legislative Conference (ALC) to be held Wednesday, September 14th and Thursday, September 15th in Washington, DC.
This year, we will feature a town hall on Wednesday, September 14th from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m., in the Capitol Visitor’s Center themed, “Black Women and Girls in American Media: Overcoming Biases and Boundaries”. The STLP town hall, in collaboration with the Congressional Caucus on Black Women and Girls, will facilitate a panel discussion centered around stereotypical images black women and girls face in American media. Expert panelists will engage in a passionate discussion of how these portrayals affect our everyday lives. This dialogue will center on healthy ways we can collectively overcome biases and boundaries to empower black women and girls through positive images.
On Thursday, September 15th from 8:00 p.m. until 12:00 a.m. at the National Museum of Women in the Arts, we will host our annual ‘Sojourner Truth Women’s Leadership Reception’. This event serves as a culminating recognition of accomplishments of black women over the past year. Not only does it bring together the women of the CBC as well as other current and emerging women leaders, the reception serves as a networking opportunity to celebrate black women leadership. Each year, the women of the CBC select individuals who have made outstanding contributions noteworthy to receive the “Woman of Truth” award in honor of trailblazer, Sojourner Truth. Please RSVP viawww.cbcfinc.org/RSVPSotruRecep
We invite you and your networks to join us for our ALC ’16 STLP events; with focus on black women and girls. For more information, please contact us at sotru@cbcfinc.org or 202.263.2800. We look forward to your participation and seeing you on both the 14th and 15th during the 46th ALC!
Salud,
