Andrea Williams, BA, is the Founder and Executive Director of the Children's Sickle Cell Foundation, Inc. (CSCF). She is the mother of four children, one of whom has sickle cell disease (SCD). She is determined to increase awareness of SCD in order to make a positive impact in the lives of children affected by this often debilitating and often fatal disease.
The mission of the Children’s Sickle Cell Foundation, Inc. is to provide quality programs
for children with SCD and their families, helping them to face the educational, social and economic challenges caused by the disease. The commitment to SCD and sickle cell trait (SCT) awareness and outreach and support for research are natural extensions of this mission. Programs include a year-round Educational Support, monthly Family Support, weekly wellness programs including the popular Learn2Swim and KarateFit Programs. Community education and outreach programs top the list of priorities for CSCF. The need for community education has led to partnerships with the schools, churches and community organizations, where we provide information and resources for screening and education. CSCF is the leader in SCD and SCT education in Southwestern Pennsylvania.The mission of the Children’s Sickle Cell Foundation, Inc. is to provide quality programs
