🚨 SCAM ALERT, MSCF FAMILY 🚨

Fraudulent emails are circulating using our Chairperson Jeanne Tate’s name to request money for alleged nonprofit compliance and administrative expenses. These requests are NOT authorized by the Mississippi Sickle Cell Foundation.

A familiar name or mention of “Board commitments” does not make an email legitimate. Check the full sender address and verify unexpected payment requests directly with us.

🛑 Do not reply, click links, or send money in response to these suspicious messages.

🎀❤️ This October, we’re wearing pink and keeping red close to our hearts.

The Mississippi Sickle Cell Foundation stands with those affected by breast cancer those facing it, survivors, caregivers, and families remembering loved ones.

For some in our sickle cell community, pink carries a personal meaning, too. We hold them close as we recognize Breast Cancer Awareness Month and continue supporting our warriors all year long.

September may be over, but our commitment continues. Different journeys, shared hope.

Let’s keep raising awareness, showing compassion, and showing up for one another. 💗❤️
