ABOUT US
TRANSFORMING SICKLE CELL OUTCOMES
At Crescent Dream Foundation, we believe that helping those affected by sickle cell disease goes far beyond the efforts of a single organization — it takes an entire community working together. Our mission is to unite patients, families, healthcare providers, researchers, and advocates to create lasting change.
​
We collect and analyze critical health data to better understand the real challenges faced by individuals living with sickle cell disease. This information helps drive improved healthcare services, influence policy reforms, and guide the development of new and more effective treatments.
OUR PROGRAMS
FIGHTING TOGETHER FOR BETTER CARE.
An important part of our mission is sharing valuable insights with the people who need them most — those living with sickle cell disease, their families, healthcare providers, and policymakers. By communicating key findings from our data, we help shape better care, stronger policies, and more targeted support.​
MISSION STATEMENT
Crescent Dream Foundation is dedicated to empowering individuals and families affected by sickle cell disease through compassionate support, education, and advocacy. We strive to transform the sickle cell experience from one of survival to one of thriving, breaking stigma, expanding access to resources, and building a strong, connected community rooted in hope, resilience, and real change.
ADVOCATING FOR REAL CHANGE
From the very beginning, we designed our data analysis plan with one goal in mind — to turn numbers into meaningful action. We carefully considered how to make our findings clear, relevant, and accessible to the people who need them most: stakeholders, the public, and health agencies.
​
A structured timeline for sharing updates was built into the plan from day one, ensuring consistent communication and transparency. By presenting this strategy early to our partners, we gained valuable feedback, strengthened trust, and secured the commitment needed to drive real change.
WHO WE SERVE
Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) impacts an estimated 100,000 people across the United States.
This inherited blood disorder can cause a range of serious, lifelong health complications and may shorten life expectancy. The challenges are compounded by systemic barriers to care, as more than 90% of individuals living with SCD belong to racial minority groups, making equitable access to quality healthcare even more critical.
