A Sickle Cell Family Reunion of Warriors, Advocates, and Caregivers

ORLANDO, FL, UNITED STATES, July 2, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Sickle Cell Community Consortium (SC3) is proud to announce its 12th Annual Warriors Convention, which will be held July 15–20, 2025, at the Renaissance Orlando Resort at SeaWorld^® located at 6677 Sea Harbor Dr, Orlando, FL 32821.

This year’s theme, “A Sickle Cell Family Reunion,” honors the tight-knit community of patients, caregivers, clinicians, researchers, and advocates who have turned pain into purpose and forged unbreakable bonds through the fight against sickle cell disease.

The 2025 Warriors’ Convention wouldn’t be possible without the unwavering commitment and generous support from Title Sponsor Vertex Pharmaceuticals and Platinum Plus Sponsor Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, as well as our community partner, Black Business Orlando. Their support is not only appreciated but also essential to the ongoing success of our mission.

As one of the largest patient-led sickle cell convenings in the nation, it's a celebration of culture, connection, and continued progress featuring five powerful days of educational sessions, wellness workshops, youth activities, clinical trial updates, and inspiring keynote speakers.

“This is not just a conference, it’s a homecoming, a family reunion,” says Dr. Lakiea Bailey, Executive Director of SC3. “After 12 years of advocacy, innovation, and unity, we’re coming together to celebrate our wins, confront ongoing challenges, and recommit to our mission as one powerful, connected family.”
