The Sickle Cell Foundation of the River Region is an Alabama-based organization dedicated to improving the lives of people affected by sickle cell disease. Serving Autauga, Butler, Chambers, Chilton, Coffee, Coosa, Crenshaw, Dallas, Elmore, Lowndes, Montgomery, Tallapoosa, and Wilcox counties, the Foundation helps individuals and families access information, screening, and ongoing support. It offers sickle cell testing, with results typically available within three to five business days, and helps people learn about treatment options and healthy disease management.

Its services include counseling, medical support, transportation, and connections to resources and current research. The Foundation also provides educational programs, events, and forums, including initiatives that share personal stories and encourage open conversation about sickle cell disease. Through partnerships and community outreach, it promotes awareness and supports people navigating the condition.

Donations help sustain its work and contribute to efforts to find a cure. The Foundation invites community members to get screened, learn about sickle cell, connect with support, volunteer, donate, and participate in awareness activities
