The Bleeding Disorders Foundation of North Carolina (BDFNC) is so excited about the Summer Community Retreat! This event is taking the place of the past Adult and Family Retreats, for a weekend for the entire bleeding disorders community to connect, learn, and have fun! This year’s event will be held at the beautiful Lake Junaluska Conference & Retreat Center in the NC mountains west of Asheville.
Accommodations and meals will be provided at no cost to BDFNC member families thanks to the generous support of our sponsors and donors. Check-in at the Retreat Center will be on Friday evening, and we hope that you will join us for an informal reception once you have checked in. Programming will take place on Saturday and Sunday, with plenty of time to enjoy the surrounding area and everything the Retreat Center has to offer. Programming will conclude after lunch on Sunday. Included in your registration are:
- Hotel accommodations on Friday and Saturday night.
