Join us for a season of showing support and raising awareness for all bleeding disorders!

March is Bleeding Disorders Awareness Month (BDAM) and a great time to show support and raise awareness for the bleeding disorders community. Bleeding Disorders Awareness Month was approved by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as a National Health Observance in March 2016 and in March 2019, Virginia officially designated March as Bleeding Disorders Awareness Month too! This month aims to bring together people with inherited bleeding disorders to raise awareness of these rare conditions and their potential challenges.

With your help our goal during our season of giving is to raise awareness and funds from our amazing community of donors, constituents and supporters! When you make a donation to VHF, 100% of your gift stays local in support of YOUR community.

Throughout the BDAM season, March 1 to April 17 (World Hemophilia Day) VHF focuses our fundraising efforts on our scholarship program which includes our Lyman Fisher Scholarship, Terry Lamb Enrichment Scholarship, and travel grants for national meetings– with the goal of continuing our recent efforts of awarding more than 2 Lyman Fisher Scholarships to qualified applicants.

Throughout the BDAM Season of Giving, VHF will offer numerous opportunities to come together for education, to raise awareness, and to fundraise on behalf of our amazing bleeding disorders community! Then join us to recognize and honor all that we have accomplished at the Annual Bleeding Disorders Awareness & Education Celebration!

Ways you can show support and raise awareness during Bleeding Disorders Awareness Season:

• Make a one time donation to VHF or Join our monthly giving program – The Hope Society at ANY amount (even $20 a month!)
• Buy some VHF Merch! When you buy a VHF t-shirt through Bonfire Funds, we receive a portion of the proceeds.
• Spread awareness by sharing our Facebook posts during March and/or starting your own Facebook Fundraiser to benefit VHF and our community of those living with inherited bleeding disorders!
• Attend one of our BDAM events – throughout the month of March!

When you support and fundraise for VHF you help us to educate, advocate, build community, and empower those impacted by an inherited bleeding disorder. So, join us in helping make a real impact so that our community members can lead long, productive, and healthy lives.
