70’s and 80’s RETRO GALA

Massachusetts Sickle Cell Association invites you to the annual Red Ribbon Gala and Scholarship Awards on Saturday, July 25, 2026 at Venezia Boston.

Under the theme, “Preserving Our Legacy and Building the Future,” this year’s Gala will recognize the institutions whose support was instrumental in establishing the foundation upon which we continue to grow and thrive.

Join us as we celebrate the academic achievements of our scholars and honor the dedicated advocates who have been steadfast champions in the fight against Sickle Cell Disease.

Proceeds from the Gala play a vital role in advancing the organization’s mission to provide life-enhancing programs and services, free of charge, to individuals living with sickle cell disease throughout Massachusetts.

We invite you to be part of this special evening as we celebrate achievement, recognize service, and invest in a brighter future for the sickle cell community.
