2011 Bayer Virtual Walk
In addition to our 2011 Hemophilia Walk, we are proud to announce our participation in the Bayer Virtual Walk for Hemophilia. This Virtual Walk is an effort to raise money and awareness for the bleeding disorder community. You don’t need sweats, tennis shoes, or a pedometer, just an email address! Once you sign up and create your own virtual walk character you may select the Central Ohio Chapter of the National Hemophilia Foundation as the chapter you would like to ”walk” for. The Top 3 local chapters will receive generous sponsorship funds and all you need is your email address, it is as simple as that!
To sign up for the Bayer Virtual walk please visit http://walkforhemophilia.com/
Corporate Sponsorship
There are several ways for companies to get involved with the Central Ohio Hemophilia Walk. Our Corporate Sponsorship Guide describes all of our general sponsorship levels and benefits as well as some unique opportunities to sponsor certain elements of the Walk (i.e. Team Photo Sponsor, Kids Zone Sponsor, etc.).
We also have a special program called Corporate Heroes that encourages companies to partner with its employees to make a combined contribution to the Central Ohio Chapter. In this instance, the company receives the benefits according to the amount of the combined contribution rather than just the amount of the corporate contribution.
