Walk With Us!

What is the Family Festival & Walk?

The Family Festival & Walk for Bleeding Disorders is the Bleeding Disorders Foundation of North Carolina's (BDFNC's) largest fundraiser, taking place in Charlotte in the spring and Raleigh in the fall.

It's an opportunity for you to help BDFNC meet its mission of supporting people with bleeding disorders, including educational programs, peer support groups, patient advocacy, emergency financial assistance, scholarships, and support for summer camps for kids with bleeding disorders.

All you need to do is register and join us. You can register as an individual fundraiser, start a team, or join a team. Set a fundraising goal and ask your friends and family to donate to you or your team. Of couse, we'd also love to see you on April 22 to celebrate our fundraising accomplishments and have some fun!
