Honor & Memorial Gifts - Gifts in honor of or in memorial of an individual can be designated by the donor for a specific program, service or activity of the Sickle Cell Disease Foundation of California.

In kind Giving Opportunities - Many times the Sickle Cell Disease Foundation of California is called upon to assist families in need, especially during the holiday season and for Camp Crescent Moon.  Donations of the following items listed would allow us to use our funds to support the programs & services of the SCDFC.

  • Gift Certificates - movies, book & music stores, markets & fast food, department stores
  • Children's Clothing - particularly jackets and other long sleeved tops, pants (new or barely used)
  • Sheets, towels and bedding (new)
