Each year, this program helps patients from more than fifty families increase acceptance and management of the diagnosis while also building strong community connections. Your donation gives this experience to others. \nEducational Programs – We host several educational conferences and retreat experiences throughout the year. Your commitment allows us to continue providing this education to patients and their families.\nAdvocacy – Every 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 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 – Over the past ten years, we have contributed more than $150,000 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=”48px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_section][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”18px”][vc_column_text]\nLocal Event Sponsors\nWe are thankful to these companies for supporting this event:[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]\nPresenting Sponsors\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”7491″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator el_width=”80″ css=””][vc_column_text css=””]\nPlatinum Sponsors\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”4147″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” css=””][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”4150″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” css=””][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”4148″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator el_width=”80″ css=””][vc_column_text css=””]\nGold Sponsors\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”4310″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” css=””][vc_single_image image=”10771″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” css=””][vc_single_image image=”11115″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” css=””][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”11484″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” css=””][vc_single_image image=”11880″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” css=””][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”9588″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” css=””][vc_single_image image=”9905″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” css=””][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”4348″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” css=””][vc_single_image image=”4159″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator el_width=”80″ css=””][vc_column_text css=””]\nBronze Sponsors\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/4″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”11608″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” css=””][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”4642″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” css=””][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator el_width=”80″ css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text css=””]\nActivity Sponsor\n[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”9603″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” css=””][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text css=””]\nCoffee Sponsor\n[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”11037″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator el_width=”80″ css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row disable_element=”yes”][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text css=””]\nIce Cream Sponsor\n[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”11071″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” css=””][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”11114″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” css=””][vc_single_image image=”11032″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” css=””][vc_single_image image=”11704″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” css=””][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text css=””]\nFriend Sponsor\n[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”11609″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section]\n URL:https://www.newenglandhemophilia.org/events/walk26/ LOCATION:5 Blue Hill River Rd, Canton, MA 02021 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/NEHA_Walk_header_2026_1164x2200_BORDER-copy.png END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
