Sickle Cell Anemia Awareness Month Recognition

Sunday September 27, 2026

Color Theme: Burgundy

This September is Sickle Cell Awareness Month. We stand in support of all sickle cell warriors, their families, caregivers, and loved ones.

Sickle cell disease is a group of inherited blood disorders that affect red blood cells and can cause severe pain, infections, stroke, and other serious health complications. While the challenges of living with sickle cell disease may not always be visible to others, their impact on individuals and families is very real.

Let’s come together to educate, encourage, and support those affected by sickle cell disease. Learning your sickle cell status, understanding the disease, supporting research, and sharing reliable information can all help make a difference.

Here are helpful resources to learn more, share, and get involved:

Together, we can increase awareness, encourage education, support those living with sickle cell disease, and help strengthen the fight for better care and healthier lives.

This October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. We stand in support of survivors of domestic violence, their families, and all those working to provide safety, healing, advocacy, and hope.

Domestic violence can take many forms, including physical, emotional, verbal, sexual, financial, and psychological abuse. It can affect people of every age, background, and community, and its effects may not always be visible to others.

Let’s come together to educate, encourage, support survivors, and help create communities where everyone can feel safe. Knowing the warning signs, learning how to safely support someone experiencing abuse, and connecting people with trusted resources can make a difference.

Here are helpful resources to learn more, share, and get help:

Together, we can increase awareness, support survivors, encourage healthy relationships, and help build safer homes and communities.

This October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. We stand in support of breast cancer survivors, those currently undergoing treatment, their families, caregivers, and all those whose lives have been affected by breast cancer.

Breast cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers among women, but it can also affect men. Early detection and advances in treatment have helped save lives, making education, appropriate screening, and awareness important parts of the fight against breast cancer.

Let’s come together to educate, encourage, and support those affected. Learn about your personal risk factors, know what changes to look for, talk with your healthcare provider about screening, and encourage those you love to take care of their health.

Together, we can increase awareness, encourage appropriate screening and early detection, support those affected by breast cancer, and continue working toward a future with better treatments and more lives saved.
