We’re excited to host the block party at historic Dixon Park (117 S 10th St, Clarksville, TN 37040), named in honor of devoted community leaders Nace and Nannie Dixon. With deep historical roots, the park holds a special place in the hearts of the Black community and is the perfect setting to honor the legacy of Juneteenth.

Sickle Cell patients rely on blood transfusions from donors of the same race. We’re partnering with Blook Assurance again this year to help ensure Sickle Cell patients have the blood they need. Last year we provided 12 unites which is enough for 36 patients. Help us double that this year!! Be the match! Be the motivation!

Sickle cell disease is a group of inherited blood disorders that cause red blood cells to become hard, sticky, and misshapen. In the United States, more than 90% of people who have sickle cell disease are non-Hispanic Black or African American. In addition to giving blood you can get screened to see if you carry the Sickle Cell trait and could pass the gene on to your childre.
