THIS YEAR'S RECIPIENT

Mr. Braden Green

Braden Green, Sickle Cell Survivor and recent AC Flora HS graduate from Columbia, SC. 

Braden Green is the inspiration behind the nonprofit organization, The B Strong Group, that spreads awareness about sickle disease. 

He has spent a lot of years helping the nonprofit with planning, volunteering, helping with social media content, and sharing his story through interviews with local media and on social media. 

Braden is now a freshman at the University of South Carolina, majoring in Computer Engineering. He loves all sports, especially professional basketball and football, drawing, painting, and gaming. 

He also likes spending time with his family and friends.

The James R. Clark Memorial Sickle Cell Foundation is so very proud of Braden Green and the work of The B Strong Group on his behalf and in honor of each warrior, caretaker, and family member living daily with the effects of this chronic illness.

We live in hope of a universal cure and of an existence free of the pain so commonly associated with Sickle Cell Disease.
