The American Red Cross will be in Philly for Roots Picnic! 1 in 3 African American blood donors are a match for people with sickle cell disease, the most common genetic blood disorder in the U.S. which disproportionately affects individuals of African descent. Many of these patients rely on routine blood transfusions to manage extreme pain and life-threatening complications. Stop by the Red Cross photo booth during Roots Picnic to capture memories, take home gifts, and learn more about their Sickle Cell Initiative! #RootsPicnic #RootsPicnic2025 #DonateBlood #GiveBlood #BloodDonor #DonateBloodSaveLives #GiveBloodSaveLives #SickleCellDisease #SickleCell #SickleCellAwareness
