They have two young children: Nora and Colin. 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 enjoys attending NEHA’s Annual Family Camp program, where he learned how to self-infuse his IV medication, and where he has fun connecting with other kids with bleeding disorders in a safe, educational and adventurous environment. [/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=”1/2″][vc_column_text css=””]\nA Look Back at Our 2019 Competition\nWatch this highlight video from 2019 as nearly a dozen Providence bars battled to see who could pour the best bloody mary.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/wwQd-AaO8gQ”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”18px”][vc_column_text]\nEvent Sponsors\nWe are thankful to these companies for supporting this event:[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”11614″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” css=”” link=”https://www.tamburrinipainting.com/home”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”11606″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” css=”” link=”https://www.rackilaw.com/”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][/vc_column][/vc_row]\n URL:https://www.newenglandhemophilia.org/events/bestbloody25/ LOCATION:45 Union Street, Newton Centre, MA 02459 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/2025_neha_newton_bloody_header_1164x2200_simple-1.png END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
