Dear Mayor Resnik:
Sickle Cell Foundation of Palm Beach County, Inc. is a voluntary health organization that has been in
existence since 1973. Incorporation papers were filed with the Secretary of State in 1979, and the .
organization later received its 503(C)(3) designation from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.
Since its inception, the Foundation's mission has been to improve the quality of life for persons affected
by Sickle Cell Disease/Trait and members of their families, and to educate the public about this blood
disorder. Sickle Ce11 Foundation is the only entity in Palm Beach County that is dedicated to serving
persons affected by Sickle Celt.
September is National Sickle Cell month and there will be several activities in celebration of this
recognition. We will host an Open House at our facility on September 13, 2003 from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00
p.m. A medical seminar will be conducted for physicians September 18, and the Nationai Sickle Cell
Conference will take place in Los Angeles, CA September 24-28, 2003. Various educational
presentations and blood drives are also scheduled during the month throughout Palm Beach County.
The religious community has been asked to participate in the celebration and we anticipate a positive
response from several religious institutions.
We are requesting the Village of Tequesta to issue a proclamation declaring September as Sickle Cell
Month in the Village of Tequesta. All proclamations will be on display in our facility. If we have
advance noiice of when tbis wilt be on the agenda, we wili make every effort to have a representative at
the Council meeting to accept the proclamation.
We appreciate your support of the Sickle Cell Faundation of Palm Beach County, Inc. and look forward
to your participation in the celebration/recognition of National Sickle Cell Month. Please feel free to
contact our office at (561) 833-3113 should you have any questions or need additional information.
Sincerely,
ette L. Coursey, DPA
