Event Description

Join the Sickle Cell Disease Association of America, Philadelphia /Delaware Valley Chapter for our 24th Annual Walter E. Brandon (W.E.B.) Sickle Cell 5K Walk-Run, Masquerade - Second Virtual Edition! This annual walk/run - founded in 1998, in memory of our agency co-founder, Walter E. Brandon - serves as a platform to raise awareness about sickle cell disease and trait, along with the importance of continued sickle cell education and getting tested. When you participate in our walk/run, you are advocating to bring greater attention to this "invisible" genetic disease. The W.E.B. 5K is the perfect opportunity to encourage loved ones/family, friends, and your network to help advocate by walking/running in honor of those living with sickle cell disease and trait. 

In lieu of the pandemic as well as multiple additional medical illnesses, this year, we have decided to keep our yearly tradition alive and available for all to be able to participate comfortably, yet safely. 

Our 24th Walter E. Brandon Walk/Run is dedicated in Celebration of the Agency's 40 years of service to the community!
