Overview
Mission
Melanated Soul Crew is a nonprofit organization formed to increase awareness about healthy fitness options in the under served African American community and involving its members in community service through fitness events and challenges.
What it reported doing in 2021
Sickle Cell Disease Association of America (SCDAA) selected by Melanated Soul Crew (MSC) because their mission fulfill Health and Wellness pillar. Melanated Soul Crew raised $32,195 for the Sickle Cell Disease Association of America (SCDAA) in our third fitness challenge that started in October 2021. Nearly 700 riders came together over six weeks to raise the money while improving their fitness. The money raised will support the SCDAA and their programming. The leader promoting and advancing initiatives focused on people affected by sickle cell conditions worldwide. For more than 45 years, Sickle Cell Disease Association of America, Inc. (SCDAA) and its 48-member organizations and affiliates have demonstrated how community-based organizations can work, as partners with medical facilities and local and state government agencies, to pursue national health care objectives. SCDAA has recognized that one agency cannot meet all the needs and challenges of those living with sickle cell disease (SCD) and their families. As part of its strategic efforts and to enhance its effectiveness, SCDAA has partnered with government, private and other not-for-profit agencies and programs at the local, state, and national levels. These have included National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), Urban League, National Institutes of Health (NIH), Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the United Way, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and many others.
