As One Foundation

The As One Foundation is a global leader in hemoglobinopathy education. It provides both in-person and digital educational opportunities aimed at raising awareness about sickle cell trait and disease, empowering patients to become proactive health advocates, and engaging allies beyond those directly affected by these blood disorders. Our programs target four key groups: patients, caregivers and families, community members, and healthcare providers. We were established in 2007 as a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization to facilitate community programs both individually and in conjunction with similar organizations and to honor the memory of Devaughn Darling, who died prematurely of exertional sickling, a condition that can affect people living with sickle cell trait.
