For the fifth year, the incomparable LaDonna Jackson brought her warmth, energy, professionalism, and heart to the stage as host of our SCD Youth Empowerment Educational Luncheon.

LaDonna has been part of this special event since the beginning, and each year she helps us create an atmosphere where our scholars and families feel welcomed, celebrated, and loved. As a Warrior Mom, actress, advocate, and longtime supporter of the MTS Sickle Cell Foundation, LaDonna understands the heart behind this initiative. Her belief in our mission is reflected in the care and enthusiasm she brings to every moment of the program. LaDonna, thank you for once again guiding us through such a meaningful afternoon and for always showing up for our scholars and the sickle cell community. We are incredibly grateful to have you as our forever host. 💙
