Brandywine Valley Hemophilia Foundation (BVHF) is a totally volunteer organization dedicated to serving the hemophilia community in southeastern Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey, and Delaware. Since 1972 we have worked to provide avenues for personal contact with families, funded research, and helped Centers to provide for the special needs of patients and families. We are committed to the principle that the money generated by our fundraising exclusively services the hemophilia community and does not maintain the bureaucracy of our organization. We encourage the active participation of all people who share our guiding principles.
