Join VABDF and CHKD for a special program designed to support families of infants and young children (age 6 and under) diagnosed with inherited bleeding disorders. This event offers an opportunity to connect with the bleeding disorders community and gain valuable education and resources. We will gather in a private meeting space for informal education, lunch, time for Q&A, networking with other parents and children, and free admission to the Virginia Zoo.

🐞 LadyBugs Program National Conference for Women 🐞We’re proud to partner with CHES Foundation to bring you the LadyBugs Program National Conference, a national event dedicated to empowering women and girls ages 16+ impacted by bleeding disorders.

The Virginia Bleeding Disorders Foundation (VABDF) formerly Virginia Hemophilia Foundation (VHF) Lyman Fisher Scholarship was established to honor Dr. Lyman Fisher, a teacher, researcher, and clinician in hemostasis. For many years, he directed the adult hemophilia program for Virginia. He will be remembered for his steadfast commitment to his patients and students, his respect for those who served under him, his community service and his affection for his family.

Application Deadline: Friday, May 1, 2026. The Virginia Hemophilia Foundation (VHF), the Hemophilia Association of the Capital Area (HACA), and Camp Holiday Trails (CHT) are excited to partner once again for Camp Youngblood (CYB) — a week-long overnight camp designed just for kids in our inherited bleeding disorders community!
