Sickle Cell Center
The Sickle Cell Center of Southern Louisiana (SCCSL) was created in 1984 to improve the care and quality of life of people with sickle cell disease living in Southern Louisiana. Since then, it has evolved into a comprehensive health program for children and adults with sickle cell disease and is based at Tulane Lakeside Medical Office Building.

Join us on Saturday, September 19, 2026, at Big Lake in New Orleans City Park for the 11th Annual Tulane Sickle Cell Run/Walk—a celebration of strength, hope, and the power of community.
Whether you're running for a loved one, walking in honor of a warrior, or supporting the fight against sickle cell disease, your participation makes a lasting impact. Together, we'll raise awareness, inspire hope, and move us closer to a world where every person living with sickle cell is fully supported, deeply cared for, and empowered to thrive.
Bring your family, friends, coworkers, and teammates for a morning filled with purpose, encouragement, and community spirit. Every stride honors resilience, every mile fuels change, and every participant helps bring us one step closer to a world with greater awareness and better outcomes for those affected by sickle cell disease.
RUN WITH PURPOSE. WALK WITH HOPE. END SICKLE CELL.
