Sponsorships
The 11th Annual Warriors Convention, themed "Lead the Way: From Patient to Powerhouse," is a unique and empowering event created specifically to address the needs of sickle cell patients and caregivers. This educational conference, planned by and for individuals living with sickle cell disease and their caregivers, addresses issues most relevant to the sickle cell community. Join us as we discuss the latest research in sickle cell disease, management of common complications, treatment options, gene therapy, transplant, transfusion, and new therapeutic drugs available or being researched for sickle cell disease.
Why Support the warriors convention?
The convention brings together patient warriors, caregivers, advocates, healthcare providers, and supporters to empower, encourage, and educate each other as we define what it is to lead with strength and resilience. There are multiple opportunities to present to the entire group, interact one-on-one with patients and caregivers, and create contacts with community-based organizations and opinion leaders of the sickle cell community.
We offer deeply discounted exhibit booths for community sponsors and small businesses. Our sponsorship packages include advertisement opportunities, social media promotion, prominent logo display, and numerous other perks. Your support will enable us to:
- Educate our community
- Address the social, medical, and mental health needs of the sickle cell warrior community
We have prepared special community-level support packages and invite you to join us in empowering the patient/caregiver community to lead the charge in creating and promoting sustainable improvements within the sickle cell community. Together, we can transform patients into powerhouses, fostering a stronger, more informed, and more connected sickle cell community.
