World Sickle Cell Awareness Day | PSA Featuring Dr. Jeffery Gardere

In recognition of World Sickle Cell Awareness Day (June 19), America's Psychologist Dr. Jeffery Gardere joins Fathers Incorporated to raise awareness about the importance of knowing your sickle cell status.

This powerful PSA is part of the national campaign KYSS – Know Your Sickle Cell Status, launched alongside the upcoming docuseries SICKLE, which highlights the real-life impact of Sickle Cell Disease on African American fathers and families.

Millions of Americans are unaware they carry the sickle cell trait—or have the disease. Understanding your genetic status can save lives, strengthen families, and build healthier futures.

Knowing is Power. For You. For Your Family.
