“Through this event, we hope to bring awareness to sickle cell disease and honor our founder. To know that SCARF has been serving individuals in our community living with sickle cell disease for 50 years because of Mrs. Rosia is amazing,” said Shay Hardison, executive director for SCARF. “SCARF is dedicated to re-engaging with the community after working through the pandemic and being unable to do what we needed. We look forward to seeing everyone out on Saturday and getting involved with the organization. We have some exciting things coming this year and next year as we celebrate 50 years of serving our Sickle Cell Warriors.”
After running or walking the 2k route, participants can visit several vendors on site, get free sickle cell trait testing by the LSUA Department of Allied Health, enjoy music, fellowshipping, and more.
