The conference held it's 68th annual meeting in the beautiful Gaylord Palms Convention Center in Orlando Florida. Those attending either received awards, attended conference sessions, met with manufacturers and specialty pharmacies, saw all that was new in the industry in the Exhibit Area, and networked with others in the nation who have common struggles and have met achievements related to having bleeding disorders like themselves.

The Brandywine Valley Hemophilia Foundation sponsored 2 local teens and their parent/grandparents to attend the conference this year. Kevin Stewart and his mother Melissa from Delaware, and Luke Vannicola from Delaware and his grandfather Bob from Florida. Brandywine also sponsored the winning team of the 2nd annual Big Red Run Chris Ramsey from PA and his daughter Hadley. Three families with bleeding disorders were able to benefit from this generous opportunity!
