BAF Heroes on the Hill

Our fly-in for Advocacy Day on March 23rd was a big success! We had over 100 meetings on the Hill, and 80+ emails were sent to congress via our Phone2Action platform from advocates who couldn’t join us in person.

And there is still time to make YOUR voice heard!

As active members of the BAF community since 2013, Dawn and Chuck have joined us for Advocacy Day on the Hill, our Annual New England Walk, and many Boston area events. Read about Dawn's brain aneurysm story and why advocating for the BAF is so important to them HERE.
