Make a One-time or Monthly Donation

Your Support Today Can Help End Sickle Cell Disease. By making a one-time or monthly donation, you can help transform awareness, prevention, and care for individuals affected by Sickle Cell Disease. Together, we can work toward a future where no one suffers from this condition.

Why Your Donation Matters

Together, We Make a Difference

Every donation, whether one-time or monthly, brings us one step closer to ending Sickle Cell Disease. Your contribution directly impacts the lives of those living with the condition by funding programs that focus on awareness, prevention, and care. With your help, we can provide critical resources to individuals and families, advocate for better healthcare, and support research efforts that will lead to better treatments and, one day, a cure.

When you donate to the Sickle Cell Association of Ontario (SCAO), your generosity helps to:

  • Provide vital support services to individuals and families affected by Sickle Cell Disease.
  • Raise public awareness to reduce stigma and promote understanding of the condition.
  • Advocate for improved healthcare policies and access to life-saving treatments.
