The Unite for Bleeding Disorders Walk is the Western PA Bleeding Disorder Foundation's largest fundraising event dedicated to finding better treatments and cures for bleeding and clotting disorders, and to prevent the complications of these disorders through awareness, education, advocacy, and research.
Join us on Saturday, September 21, 2024 at the North Park Swimming Pool for the 16th Annual Unite for Bleeding Disorders Walk! The Walk unites families with bleeding disorders with family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers to support important programs and services to help people with Hemophilia, von Willebrand Disease, and other rare bleeding disorders in our community. At this event, we have a DJ, food, crafts, games, raffles, a 5K run, character visits, and a pinwheel ceremony right before our families walk! This event is FREE for everyone to attend, but donations are encouraged. We hope to see you there!
The funds generated from our Walk help the Western Pennsylvania Bleeding Disorders Foundation:
- Promote patient advocacy and blood safety for everyone
- Support families in need by offering assistance with medical bills, travel to and from the treatment center, knee/elbow braces and other medical devices
- Provide medical ID jewelry to our members at no cost to them
- Provide local educational programming throughout the year
- Provide a support network to all our community members
- Create and increase awareness about bleeding disorders
