This community outreach is being organized by the Prince William County Alumnae Chapter (PWCAC) of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., Delta GEMS Educational Program to honor the life and legacy of Candis King. Candis was a PWCAC Delta GEM that attended Charles J. Colgan, Sr High School; she was active in her school and community. September is Candis’ birth month and Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) Awareness Month. Candis’ impact on this world supersedes her 15 years on this earth. We are walking 1.5-miles to honor those precious 15 years. The walk seeks to honor Candis King and all warriors, raise SCD awareness, education, resources, and support SCD warriors and caregivers through community engagement and advocacy. The morning will include a time to honor Candis, a 1.5-mile SCD Awareness Walk, education from partners, legislative awareness information, and a blood drive in honor of Candis King. SCD trait screening will be available on site. Please support the ongoing need for blood donations – you never know your blood may help a SCD warrior.
