In 2013, Jason and Devin McCourty launched their “Tackle Sickle Cell” Campaign in partnership with Embrace Kids Foundation (located in New Brunswick, NJ) with the aim of educating the public, increasing blood donations and raising money and awareness for the fight against sickle cell disease. To date, Tackle Sickle Cell has raised close to 3 million dollars net profit to support families battling sickle cell.

Sickle Cell disease has touched the McCourty Twins family and they were inspired by their Aunt Winnie to launch “Tackle Sickle Cell.” They have worked tirelessly for more then a decade donating time, money, and resources to support families battling sickle cell. While the Campaign was started in New Jersey, the twins have brought events to their football cities of Boston, Nashville and Cleveland.
