The Teen Impact Awards are the top community program to recognize teens in the bleeding disorders community who are making a positive impact in homes, schools and communities. Over the course of seven years, the Awards honored 400 teens from across the United States.
Hosted by community advocate Patrick James Lynch and guest presenters such as Super Bowl champion Josh Gordy, the Awards are held annually on the opening night of National Hemophilia Foundation's (NHF) Bleeding Disorders Conference (BDC), following Opening Session.
The educational and inspirational event features our honored teens speaking on stage, young adult leaders from NHF's National Youth Leadership Institute (NYLI), guest community presenters and more.
