Legislative Day
AZBD’s Legislative Day is your chance to make a real impact on policies affecting the bleeding disorders community in Arizona. Each year, advocates, families, and community members come together at the Arizona State Capitol to share their stories and educate legislators on the challenges and needs of those living with bleeding disorders.
Participants will receive advocacy training, meet with elected officials, and help ensure our community’s voice is heard. Whether you’re new to advocacy or a seasoned advocate, your presence makes a difference in protecting access to care and essential resources.
Camp Readiness
Deciding if you or your child is ready for camp?
When we think about sending our children to camp, many of us wonder, “Is he/she ready to be on his/her own? Will he/she have friends? Will he/she infuse on schedule? Who will look out for him/her? What happens if…?”
Join us as we discuss these common fears and provide an in-depth look at the camp environment, including key elements such as socialization, self-advocacy, and support resources.

Community Volunteer Day
Join AZBD for our Community Volunteer Day at St. Vincent de Paul on November 9th, where we’ll come together to make a positive impact on those facing food insecurity in Arizona. Volunteers will have the opportunity to assist at one of St. Vincent de Paul’s urban farms, which produces over 33,000 pounds of nutrient-rich food each year. This food directly supports individuals and families experiencing homelessness or food insecurity, providing vital nourishment and promoting health and wellness. It’s a hands-on way to give back to our community and help address the root causes of hunger. We look forward to working side by side to make a difference!
