On April 24th, three time Super Bowl Champ and passionate champion for sickle cell disease, Devin McCourty delivered the keynote speech for 600+ attendees at MassBio’s State of Possible Conference, the premier event for the Massachusetts life sciences industry.
Attendees from the lab to the c-suite experienced engaging panel discussions on surviving biotech’s choppy waters and rewriting what is possible in science and a fireside chat on state and federal affairs.
Devin McCourty’s success on the field was only exceeded by his social impact off the field. Devin was nominated for the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award four times for his widespread philanthropic efforts. In 2013, Devin and his twin brother Jason 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 over $2.5 million dollars net profit to support families battling sickle cell. Devin earned the Boston Children’s Hospital Champions Award in 2015 and currently serves on the Boston Medical Center (BMC) Hospital Board.
