We look forward to seeing you
♥ On a very rainy Saturday, September 23, 2023, the Fredericksburg Area Sickle Cell Association held its annual walk-a-thon. The walk-a-thon is both a fun event for participants and a great way to provide critical financial support for FASCA’s important work in the community. You can read an informational letter about the 2023 walk-a-thon by clicking here. You can download a registration form for participants by clicking here.

Many thanks to all who contributed in any way!
♥ On Saturday, November 12, 2022, the Fredericksburg Area Sickle Cell Association celebrated its 50th anniversary of service to the community. A great crowd gathered for this festive affair. (To view and/or print the FASCA flyer about the celebration, click here.)
♥ If you’ve made a current membership contribution, we also invite you to join us at any or all of our regular monthly meetings. These meetings are at 7:30 p.m. on the fourth Monday of each month, except not during August, November, or December. The meetings are held at the Emmanuel AME Church, 250 Chatham Heights Road, Fredericksburg, VA 22405.
♥ We normally have a walk-a-thon each year. And we invite you to participate as a walk or as a donor. Our walk-a-thons are both fun and educational — and a great way to help raise much needed funds for FASCA’s important work in the community. A flyer about the 2022 walk-a-thon is available by clicking here. For information on future walk-a-thons, you can send an email to fasca3275@gmail.com or you can call 540-371-2923.
♥ FASCA participates in health fairs in various locations throughout the year. Watch for announcements here or on local media.
♥ FASCA normally sponsors a “family and friends fellowship” each autumn. The program typically includes an informative or inspirational speaker, the presentation of awards and honors, and a chance to interact with others who share you concern for those who are living with sickle cell disease.
♥ Other events are scheduled from time to time. Watch for announcements here or in local media.
