On behalf of Black in Health Policy and the Association of Health Policy Leaders and Executives, we are pleased to invite your organization to participate as a sponsor for our upcoming event, Bridging Policy and Progress: A Bipartisan Conversation on Sickle Cell, taking place on Thursday, February 26, 2026, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM in downtown Washington, DC.
​
This in-person convening will bring together policymakers, advocates, clinicians, industry partners, and community leaders for an evening of substantive dialogue and relationship-building focused on advancing sickle cell policy, innovation, and access to care. We have extended invitations to Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) to participate in the bipartisan discussion, alongside key stakeholders representing the full sickle cell care continuum.
​
As a sponsor, your organization will be recognized for its commitment to advancing care and innovation in sickle cell disease, with opportunities for visibility throughout the event and in related materials.
