Our first event of the year—Winter Education Day—was a success! Despite an unexpected power outage at our original location, we were able to pivot and still come together as a community before the Thunderbird hockey game. As a bonus, a beautiful rainbow appeared during the event, making the moment even more special.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and for your flexibility—we truly appreciate it.

We can’t wait to see you next at Family Camp and Spring Education Day!

Our Story

The Bleeding Disorder Foundation of Washington serves and educates the bleeding disorder community and advocates for access to care for those with rare diseases.

We serve the 70,000 bleeding disorder patients in Washington State. We do this by empowering young families at I-Vy Jr. programs, encouraging kids to be independent at Camp I-Vy, launching teens into life through I-Vy Leaders, bolstering community through Blood Brothers, and advocating for access to medication and affordable care. By serving our community with these goals in mind, the BDFW believes that each bleeding disorder patient in Washington has the chance to thrive and live their best lives.

Our History

The Bleeding Disorder Foundation of Washington began in the 1970’s when parents gathered together at Camp I-Vy for their children. Over the years the Foundation changed its name and took on unimaginable challenges, resulting from tainted blood products in the 1980’s. The result was tremendous devastation for the bleeding disorder community. Almost 70% of the community contracted HIV and, sadly, over half of them passed away.
