This vital program aims to help children increase and enhance their self-infusion skills while also helping families build strong connections within our community. We are proud to subsidize 95% of the cost of Camp to ensure that everyone can attend this crucial program, regardless of their financial circumstances. Your donations helps give this experience to others. \nEducational Programs – We host several educational conferences and retreat experiences throughout the year. These events are designed to offer education in an immersive, supportive environment for our community members. Your commitment allows us to continue providing this education to patients and their families.\nAdvocacy – Each year, we send families to Washington, D.C., and to their state houses to share their stories and to ask lawmakers for their support on legislation that is critical to our community. Your generosity allows us and our needs to continue to be heard.\nEmergency Assistance – Each year, we provide roughly $30,000 to New England families experiencing financial hardships by helping them with non-medical expenses like utility bills, transportation, rent and food. Your support helps those in need. \nResearch – Since 2018, we’ve contributed more than $100,000 to help find a cure and improved treatment options for bleeding disorders. Your donation allows us to continue investing in research.\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”18px”][vc_column_text]\nSupport Our Work ( https://www.uniteforbleedingdisorders.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.event&eventID=898 )\n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”48px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]\nThe Walk Experience\nOur Walk allows us to unite as a community and to celebrate one another.
