The As One Foundation, based in Sugar Land, TX, was founded by Devard Darling in honor of his twin brother, Devaughn, who tragically passed away due to sickle cell trait complications while playing football at Florida State University. The foundation's mission is to raise awareness and provide education on sickle cell trait, hydration, and prevention of sports-related deaths through programs like Operation Hydration.
Through generous donations, the As One Foundation has provided over $100,000 in scholarships, conducted over 5200 hours of sickle cell trait education for coaches and teachers, and organized free sports camps reaching thousands of children. By offering free sickle cell trait screenings and education, the foundation aims to prevent exertional sickling deaths among student-athletes in the Houston area and beyond.
