Start: 2026-07-25
End: 2026-07-25

On Saturday, July 25, we are hosting a day of fun, connection and education for families in our community. Educational Sessions will take place at the Marriott Hartford/Windsor Airport in Windsor, CT before attendees enjoy the afternoon nearby at Six Flags New England in Springfield, MA.

The goal of this event is to provide early education, practical resources, and supportive connections for families who are new to the bleeding disorders community, particularly those with young children or a recent diagnosis. The events also bring the broader community together to share information about treatment options and build meaningful relationships with other families, partners, and care providers.
