Dreamsickle Kids Foundation,Inc

Dreamsickle Kids Foundation, Inc is the first Sickle Cell Disease organization in the state of Nevada established in 2018. Over the last three years we have supported children and families impacted by SCD in various ways while advocating for long term change and creating events that are tailored to the SCD population and raising awareness for this rare genetic illness. In 2019 we advocating for the passing of the first SCD bill in the state ,AB254 that allowed immediate benefits to be realized by the SCD population. In 2020, the first comprehensive SCD clinic was opened to treat children and adults in Nevada with SCD, the Sickle Cell Center of Nevada. Since 2018, Dreamsickle Kids host the only SCD charity walk in Nevada(Las Vegas). In 2020, we expanded our focus to include anyone in Nevada impacted by one of the  7,000 Rare Diseases , as support for Rare Diseases in the state overall is sparse. 

Our mission is to #MakeSickleCellPopular by increasing awareness, educating ,and advocating for long term changes for the SCD population of Nevada to improve Equity and access to care for those affected by SCD and other Rare Diseases while also addressing health disparities.
