As One Foundation embraces health and heritage with World Sickle Cell Day Juneteenth Jubilee Health Fair and Blood Drive


In a powerful celebration of history and health, the As One Foundation, is proud
to announce the World Sickle Cell Day Juneteenth Jubilee Health Fair and Blood Drive.
The third annual event will take place after the historical Sylvester Turner Juneteenth Parade on Saturday, June 21, 2025, from 2:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Acres Home Multi-Service Center, located at 6719 West Montgomery Rd, Houston, TX 77091.
A Unified Celebration
The convergence of Juneteenth and World Sickle Cell Day underscores the 
interconnectedness of these observances and highlights the importance of addressing health disparities while celebrating the resilience of the Black community. Sickle cell disease disproportionately affects communities of color and is often underdiagnosed and misunderstood.
The As One Foundation, through its outreach and events like the Juneteenth
Jubilee, remains committed to increasing education, early detection, and health equity.
Attendees can expect:
Free sickle cell screening
Free vaccines
Free T-shirts and transportation vouchers
A Free Chick-fil-A lunch
Raffles, prizes, and giveaways
A lively Kid Zone with family fun
On-site Blood Drive supporting local patients in need




“This is more than a health fair, it’s a celebration of life, culture, and community,”
said As One Foundation Executive Director, Tomia Austin. “We’re bringing Houston together to uplift those affected by sickle cell disease and empower families with the tools to thrive.”
The event is made possible by generous support from Fulcrum Therapeutics, Novo Nordisk, Pfizer, Inc., and Beam Therapeutics, with additional sponsor contributions from Sign Systems, DMars, and AG Media Agency. Community partnership provided by the dynamic Salt and Pepper Gang.
