Colin has severe hemophilia A. Since Colin’s diagnosis was a surprise, NEHA has been a tremendous source of education and support for the Bazinsky’s. In particular, Colin is looking forward to learning how to self-infuse his IV medication this summer at NEHA’s family camp. \nWhile this event is a fun competition among local bars, it is also a vital fundraiser that supports the New England Hemophilia Association’s mission to provide education, support, and advocacy to families, like the Bazinsky’s.  \n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”18px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]\nA Look Back at Our 2019 Competition\nWhile this event was held virtually in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are excited to host it in-person once again!
