The 10th Annual Sickle Cell Disease Educational Seminar is a state-wide event put on by the sickle cell community FOR the sickle cell community. It hosts experts from across the United States and explores issues that are crucial to both individuals with sickle cell disease and the medical providers giving treatment. This year’s Seminar is being held at the UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento, from September 6th - 8th and the theme is "Integrative Medicine and Sickle Cell: A Multi-Disciplinary, 21st Century Approach". We need volunteers to ensure this special event is a success for all who attend!

We are searching for volunteers who can help us with:

  1. Guest Registration and Sign In
  2. Speaker Presentation / Audience Support
  3. On-going Tabling and Guest Assistance

The event will run for 3 days, from September 6th to the 9th, from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. most days, and we have time-slots available for volunteers to choose from. We welcome groups, have opportunities for individuals with special physical needs, and students/senior citizens are encouraged to join us.

Additional notes:

  • 15 years and up (no children)
  • Volunteers must be comfortable with standing for 2 - 5 hours at a time
  • Volunteers must be proficient English speakers, 1-2 volunteers who can speak Spanish would be excellent

Mission Statement

Cayenne Wellness Center is dedicated to health promotion and disease prevention in children, adolescents, their families and the general population. The mission of Cayenne Wellness Center is to improve the nutritional and mental health of the public.

Description

September is National Sickle Cell Disease Awareness Month. Throughout the months, from July to December (and most crucially in September), we need volunteers to do in-house mailings, set up and work the literature tables, and sign in participants at the various events that take place in September.

Mailings will be prepared in the Burbank office.

All other volunteer work will be at miscellaneous locations throughout the LA-area, depending on the sickle cell awareness event.
