About MS Sickle Cell Foundation
|
The mission of the Mississippi Sickle Cell Foundation is to enhance the quality of life for individuals living with sickle cell disease through the support of research, public activities and awareness, and patient/family education.
MSCF sponsors several events throughout the year including a Sickle Cell Camp each June, when youth living with the disease take a four-day trip to Mississippi State Park to spend quality time and have fun with other families going through the same experiences. The camp is one of many activities supported through the Annual Gala. MSCF’s main office is located at the Jackson Medical Mall Thad Cochran Center in Suite 731 on the first floor. |
