March for Marrow Walks
Local organizers hold walks large and small in communities of all sizes, making imaginative use of their surroundings to encourage people to get out and walk with a purpose. These popular events attract the full range of local citizens, from families with strollers, to students, employers and seniors. To learn more about our walks and local events, contact Azalea Candelaria at development@aamds.org or 301-279-7202 x105.
Local Events
Awareness events come in all stripes, from barbecues and tag sales to friendly sporting competitions and raffles. Run by families, caregivers or volunteers, this type of engagement is not only a healthy way to be social. It also leads to fundraising opportunities for the research programs AAMDSIF supports to find the cure for bone marrow failure. For your convenience, we also post events led by professionals from allied health-related organizations.
Support Groups
Formerly known as Communities of Hope, these groups are a valuable source of local peer-to-peer engagement, connecting patients and families with each other for mutual compassionate support.
