As summer draws to a close and the school doors open for the new school year, GLHF would like to say THANK YOU to all our donors who enabled us to keep our promise to the young bleeding disorders community this summer.

With support from many donors, Great Lakes Hemophilia Foundation sent 26 youth to camp this summer and awarded 4 educational scholarships to people heading to universities this fall.

Camp is not only loads of fun, but also provides a great learning experience and a safe environment for youth with bleeding disorders to relax and enjoy traditional camp activities.

Some campers and parents have this to say about the camp experience:

“I learned a lot of different things about my health and how to take care of my body. I met so many new people this year made a bunch of new friends.” Sierra K., camper

 

“Thank you very much for the campership for our son, Andrew. He is growing more independent and has become more interested in learning to take control of his condition through his camp experience. The bonding and camaraderie the kids all share is wonderful to see. He is keeping in touch with kids that share in his experience with hemophilia which will last a lifetime.” Al & Jan S., parents of a camper
 

GLHF scholarship recipients are all looking forward to a year of studies, and are very grateful for the financial assistance your support helps provide. One scholarship winner shares his thanks:
 

“Since late June I have been attending Marquette and have been adjusting to the hectic yet amazing college life. My course of study is Clinical Lab Science. In my junior year I hope to become a premed student. My long term goal would be to become a Hematologist/Oncologist. I feel my purpose in life is to help others with bleeding disorders.” Alex O.
 

Thank you again to all of our friends and donors who make it possible for Grea
 

Thank you again to all of our friends and donors who make it possible for Great Lakes Hemophilia Foundation to stay true to its mission to advance quality of life for people with blood disorders.

WORKPLACE GIVING IS AN EASY WAY TO SUPPORT GLHF
 

As fall approaches, so too do United Way and other workplace giving campaigns. If your workplace offers this convenient method to make a charitable donation, please consider designating your gift to Great Lakes Hemophilia Foundation. Ask at your workplace for the Donor Choice form and find Great Lakes Hemophilia Foundation listed under the Community Health Charities member organizations. Ask your co workers, friends, and family members to designate a gift to GLHF also. Many gifts make it possible to support Wisconsin families coping with bleeding disorders.

If your workplace does not offer this payroll deduction method of charitable giving, or if you prefer to make your gift directly to GLHF, we can arrange monthly or quarterly payments for you. Just call our office and speak to Maripat Monahan (414-937-6783) to set up regular donation installments.
