Their support will go far to benefit those living with sickle cell disease.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The partnership will support the SCDAA and sickle cell community through raising funds, mobilizing blood and bone marrow drives and collaborating to educate the community about sickle cell disease and sickle cell trait. Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity will encourage chapters to collaborate with their local American Red Cross to host blood drives and the Be The Match Registry to host bone marrow drives. Chapters will conduct screenings to help adolescents and adults detect sickle cell and organize fundraisers for sickle cell research, education and children\u2019s services.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSCDAA is proud to continue its partnership with Phi Beta Sigma in raising awareness about sickle cell disease,\u201d said Thomas L.
