Celebratory Scholarship
Virtual Gala
At Michelle's House, we meet the needs of those living with Sickle Cell Disease through innovative programs and public awareness initiatives. Your support fuels or work!
Education, Hopes And Dreams
Through Perseverance
Living with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) during a pandemic is devastating.
Our medically challenged children are the most vulnerable physically and academically as COVID-19 has disproportionately impacted communities
of color. We need your help!
Join our virtual gala & silent auction and help drive the success of Michelle’s House and our programs.

Here are some Tips:
-
To start using Zoom, make your choice (browser or a direct download) and then sign up. You will be prompted to type in your work email -- but any will do -- or sign in through either Google or Facebook.
-
At the next prompt, Zoom will ask for permission to send resources including product videos and how-to guides your way. Either click "Confirm"or "Set Preferences" the latter option being to receive emails once a week, once a month, or never. Make your selection.
-
By now, a confirmation email should have landed in your inbox. Open the message, click "Activate Account" or paste the included confirmation link into your browser, and then at the next prompt, you will need to complete account creation with your name and a strong password.

If you wish, on the next screen, you can invite your colleagues to also create an account. If not, click "Skip this step"
