The highly anticipated charity event will raise awareness about Sickle Cell Disease plus much needed funds for the KIS Foundation, Inc. SCD programs and services

NORTHRIDGE, Calif. - PennZone -- Sickle Cell Disease affects approximately 100,000 Americans according to the CDC, with 1 out of every 365 African American babies being born with the disease. In an effort to raise awareness and benefit the programs and services of the KIS Foundation, Inc., popular television host of It's Showtime at the Apollo, KiKi Shepard and select corporate sponsors will execute KiKi Shepard's 4th Annual Celebrity Golf Classic at Porter Valley Country Club on Monday, November 14, 2022. This celebrity driven event will bring together a bevy of high tiered influencers and luminaries for a day of golfing and philanthropy.

"A lot of people don't know that I carry the Sickle Cell Trait (SCT). It is extremely important that we continue to help others that have the disease or the trait, by educating them and making them aware that there is a possibility to live a normal life," says our Golf Ambassador & Host Byron Scott.  I am extremely proud to be involved with The KIS Foundation, Inc.

The KIS Foundation, Inc. is a progressive 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the social health and quality of life for patients and families living with Sickle Cell Disease. Founded by KiKi Shepard herself, the foundation believes that individuals and groups should not simply wait for SCD to affect them personally before they get involved and make a difference.
