Did you know that many nonprofit organizations fundraise 50% of their operating expenses in the last 48 hours of each calendar year? 
As a small and mighty nonprofit in the bleeding disorder space, CHES is the only one with dedicated educational events for the inhibitor and ultra rare communities. We are asking for your support to help fund CHES’s unique and critical educational events in 2025!  Help us to bring more families and awareness to the niche corners of the bleeding disorder community. 
Education and connection are the benchmarks of CHES- please help us stand in the space to represent these underserved communities. A donation of any amount makes a difference! Thank you!

Recognition of CHES Nurses
All of CHES's events in 2024 have included a combination of three very special nurses; Kathy Byrne, Brianna O'Neil, and Hope Woodcock Ross. As anyone familiar with bleeding disorders can tell you, sometimes you need a solid friend/mentor/mama bear to help you with an infusion. Brianna, Hope and Kathy have served as the guiding lights in self-infusion clinics with CHES for years. We cannot sing their praises enough!  Thank you, Kathy, Hope, and Brianna, for sharing your time, expertise and warm hugs with the CHES Community!

2025 Events
If you are interested in learning more about CHES's critical in person community educational events in 2025, please visit the CHES website. Planning for our 2025 events is well underway and we are excited to share education, connections and community with you!
