\nSickle Cell Disease Association of America, Inc. (SCDAA) and EBONY Media Operations (EMO) announced a new media partnership in September 2018 that will enhance national awareness efforts about sickle cell disease (SCD) and help to ensure the disease is not forgotten. The collaboration will use a combination of print, digital platforms, events and speaking opportunities to share educational information with individuals living with SCD and their families to patients better understand the disease and treatment options. The partnership also will increase the dissemination of information to engage new audiences, create new conversations and remove stigma for those affected by SCD. <\/span>

In November 2018, EBONY hosted the Power 100 event in Los Angeles, CA and helped SCDAA in its efforts to increase awareness about sickle cell disease and to raise funds to support individuals living with the disease and their families. EBONY also has included 2 full-page ads in their national print magazine for its October\/November and December\/January issues.<\/span>\n\u201cSCDAA is grateful for this new media partnership and the value it will bring to the sickle cell community,\u201d said SCDAA President and CEO Beverley Francis-Gibson. \u201cEBONY magazine is one of the premiere publications with a long history of addressing critical issues relevant to the African-American community. This unique partnership will provide exciting new opportunities for SCDAA and EBONY to inform, educate and inspire others to keep SCD at the forefront of health discussions.\u201d<\/span>
\n\u201cFor more than four decades, SCDAA has been a champion of the sickle cell community, and EBONY is delighted to partner with them to raise awareness about SCD,\u201d said Linda Johnson Rice, EBONY Media Operations Chairman Emeritus and CEO Michael Gibson. \u201cOur partnership will work to bolster communications efforts and spark new conversations that will help improve the quality <\/span>of life for those affected by the disease.
