About this event

  • Event lasts 5 hours

We are excited to once again partner with Richland County Recreation Commission to host our 8th Annual Braden's Birthday Bash & Blood Drive. There will be food, entertainment, vendors, music and fun! This will be all free for the community. Come learn about sickle cell disease, find out your sickle cell trait status, meet other organizations within the community and have fun! Our theme for this event is All Boots on the Ground and we plan to have music, Soul Line Dancing, Carnival Style games, Kickball and more! This will be a family friendly event for the entire community! We are also partnering with the American Red Cross to host our first blood drive of 2025 at this event. In lieu of birthday presents, Braden is collecting toys, arts and craft items and teen friendly gifts to share with the Sickle Cell Clinic at Prisma Health Children's Hospital's Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders. You can bring them to the event with you. We will also be accepting items for our local Adult Sickle Cell Clinic.

Our blood drive will begin at 10 am. Be sure to sign up to donate today! Our Birthday Bash Festivities will begin at 10 am. Lunch will be served at 11:30 am.

We still have space for vendors and sponsors. Please visit our website for details! thebstronggroup.org
