September is National Sickle Cell Awareness Month- Join us as we collaborate with the Wilmington Sigmas & the NAACP New Hanover County Branch this Thursday, September 10 from 12-6pm for our quarterly blood drive at the ARC on 16th Street!Fact: Sickle cell disease is the most common genetic blood disorder in the U.S., affecting about 100,000 people primarily of African descent.
Patients with sickle cell disease may rely on regular blood transfusions throughout their lives to prevent sickle cell complications such as organ and tissue damage, severe pain, and strokes. Unfortunately, frequent transfusions can make finding compatible blood types more difficult when patients develop an immune response against blood from donors that is not closely matched to the recipient. These antibodies can lead to severe complications. 1 in 3 African American blood donors are a match for people with sickle cell disease. Are you the one?
This Sickle Cell Awareness Month, you can support patients who rely on blood transfusions as part of their care. Help spread the word and give blood. Learn more: rcblood.org/4ia9Az3

Delta Foundation of the Cape Fear
Delta Foundation of the Cape Fear (DCFC) is a 501c3 organization established in 2014 to support the programs of the Wilmington Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. as a non-profit entity. Composed of a small group of financially active members of the chapter, the DFCF operates as a separate organization, with its own governing doctrine, finances, and dues structure. Membership is by invitation only.
Contributions & Achievements
DFCF often partners with the Wilmington Alumnae chapter to co-fund community activities and programs. The DFCF has secured the Hello Arts! grant, (formally known as Broadway for a Better World) from the Wilson Center for several seasons, creating opportunities for Delta GEMS and Academy participants to go to the theatre. It has also used funds raised to support the chapter’s UNC-W Endowed Scholarship, and, in true WAC fashion, continues to set the standard of being the “first” to lead in our community.
After its successful Shades of Sisterhood Tea during the NC Azalea Festival weekend in 2023, the DFCF approached the NC Azalea Festival Committee and became the first African American organization added to the Festival’s calendar of events with its 2024 inaugural Celebration of African American Arts and Culture. This even is a celebration of the African American experience through visual and performing arts, supported by a grant from the Wilmington/New Hanover Arts Council. Having secured an additional Grassroots grant from the Arts Council, plans are underway for a reprisal at the 2025 NC Azalea Festival with an emphasis on featuring performing artists from NC’s historically black colleges and universities!
