The Rho Eta Sigma Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity is hosting a virtual blood drive in support of Sickle Cell Anemia to raise awareness and provide much-needed assistance to those suffering from this chronic condition. Sickle cell anemia, a genetic blood disorder, affects millions of individuals, particularly those in the African American community. This disease often requires regular blood transfusions to manage symptoms and improve the quality of life for patients.

As part of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity’s long-standing commitment to community service and improving the health and well-being of underserved populations, this virtual blood drive is an opportunity to make a direct, positive impact. By partnering with blood donation organizations, the chapter aims to address the ongoing need for blood donations, which are critical in the fight against sickle cell anemia.

The virtual format allows for a safe, convenient, and flexible way for members and supporters to contribute to this important cause. Participants can donate blood at local blood donation centers, and the chapter will help coordinate and promote the drive to maximize donations. This initiative not only supports individuals living with sickle cell but also highlights the Fraternity’s dedication to education, service, and advocacy.

In hosting this event, Rho Eta Sigma Alumni Chapter is also working to increase awareness about sickle cell disease and encourage others to join the cause, either through blood donations or by learning more about the condition. This event exemplifies Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity’s motto of “Culture for Service and Service for Humanity,” embodying the Fraternity’s mission to improve the quality of life for all.
