St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® held their Celebrate St. Jude: Pathways to Progress event featuring RL from Next, to raise awareness around sickle cell disease and honor pioneers who have paved the way to save children around the world.
St. Jude has been committed to researching, understanding, and improving standards for people with sickle cell disease since our very beginning. The first grant that the hospital ever received was for the study of sickle cell disease in 1958, before the hospital was even built.
The event consisted of cocktails, delicious food, conversations, and a performance to celebrate the patients of St. Jude and its lifesaving mission during Sickle Cell Awareness Month.
