Senator Greenleaf Recognized for Support of Hemophilia Legislation | From the Executive Director | Happenings | Legislative Updates | Medical Updates | FYI | Viewpoint | Past Newsletters

In 2008, the National Hemophilia
Foundation launched Phase I of
its Campaign for Our Future (The
Campaign). The Campaign is a fundraising
initiative to achieve NHF’s
vitally important ACT initiative
- Access to Care Today; Achieve a
Cure Tomorrow. The Delaware Valley
Chapter, a proud early contributor of
The Campaign, supports NHF’s goals
of ensuring the best care available
for all those living with bleeding
disorders through a collaboration of
national and local efforts.
In Phase 1 of The Campaign, NHF
received support from every major
stakeholder group; every NHF
national board member, every
NHF chapter, all major pharmaceutical firms, hemophilia-related organizations,
Medical and Scientific Advisory Council (MASAC) members and individual leaders
across the country.
Through their commitment and support, the ACT initiative is flourishing. Please
read more about the ACT initiative via the NHF website: http://www.hemophilia.org/campaignforourfuture.
With more than 90% of NHF’s goal reached, $7.3 million to date, Phase II of The
Campaign is now beginning, focused exclusively on raising money for research.
RESEARCH IS OUR FUTURE! I would like to invite you to support Phase II of the
Campaign, an effort to significantly expand and accelerate NHF’s commitment to
better treatments, and ultimately, a cure.
For more than 60 years, NHF has been a leader in the field of scientific research
for bleeding disorders and remains the largest non-governmental organization
committed to this type of science. One of NHF’s premier research programs is
its Judith Graham Pool Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Bleeding Disorders
(JGP). The Delaware Valley Chapter, along with Chapters around the country, is
a long time contributor to the JGP Program. We, and others, are expanding our
commitment to research through Phase II of the Campaign.
In the late 1960s, Dr. Pool’s ground-breaking research revolutionized the
current treatments for bleeding disorders. Inspired by her ingenuity, in 1972
NHF established a fellowship in her name to enable other talented scientists to
devote themselves completely to advancing new treatments and finding a cure.
For additional information about NHF’s Research Program and the Judith Graham
Pool Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Bleeding Disorders visit the NHF website

I hope you will consider making a 100% tax-deductible contribution that will
directly support the Judith Graham Pool Fellowship. Your gift in whatever size
will be the catalyst for potential discoveries, paving the way for a better life
for current and future generations of individuals living with hemophilia and all
bleeding disorders. Thank you in advance for your gift of support.
Warm regards,
Ann
