Jaguars Assist in Sickle Cell Fundraiser

 

Shreveport Job Corps Center Jaguars hit the street corners  for the Northwest Louisiana Sickle Cell Foundation Fundraiser.  Students were enthusiastic  to “Shake A Can”  to collect for the annual area event.   Donations  assist in the research for  treatments for Sickle Cell Anemia disease,  a genetic blood disorder that effects the oxygen supply throughout the body.   Over eighty thousand Americans suffer from the disease and two  million carry the gene.  The activity  was broadcasted live Saturday, September 25th,  at local radio station KVMA.
