OUR STORY
The Riley Foundation for Sickle Cell Disease was officially established as a 501(c)(3) organization in 2019, but our journey began long before that. Since 2011, we have been on a mission to advocate for, educate, and support those affected by sickle cell disease, driven by a deeply personal story and a commitment to fill critical gaps in care and resources.
Our Services
South Carolina ranks #1 in strokes under 30, and sickle cell disease is a significant contributor. Yet, the resources for families often fall short. The Riley Foundation is here to change that by being the boots on the ground for our community.
EDUCATION
Trait awareness, testing, and community outreach to demystify sickle cell disease.
MEDICAL CONNECTIONS
Annual blood drives, bone marrow registration initiatives, and direct support for sickle cell families, including holiday assistance and emergency resources.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH
Partnering with healthcare professionals to improve treatment options and patient care.
