  • Photo and Video Release

  • Why We Ask

    It is HFM’s pleasure to host community members at various events throughout the year. By documenting these events through photo and/or video we hope to maintain a historical record of community activities, share photos for future events or activities, and promote fundraising efforts that support HFM events and services. It is a joy to reminisce when looking through photos, we hope to preserve community memories and moments.

  • ATTENDANCE/CANCELLATION POLICY

    HEMOPHILIA FOUNDATION OF MICHIGAN
  • HFM event attendance/cancellation policy.

    The Policy:

    Individuals and groups that register for the VWD Symposium and/ or SpringFest 2026 HFM event must notify Shari Luckey at sluckey@hfmich.org as soon as possible if unable to participate. If HFM is NOT NOTIFIED regarding cancellation - and registered individuals or groups do not show up for the event - we will require a credit card guarantee for the next HFM event they wish to attend. Registration fees will be charged to the credit card on file if the individuals/group does not show up for the event and/or does not notify HFM.

    Why did HFM create this policy?

    HFM understands unforeseen circumstances prevent attendance at events. Unfortunately, too many people have registered for events and do not attend/notify HFM regarding their inability to participate.

    What difference does it make when people don’t show up?

    When people register for an event it impacts event planning, space available, and cost. Many HFM events have limited space, funding, and potentially have a waitlist for participation. When we know there is a cancellation HFM can invite other community members. Or, in some circumstances, we may be able to adjust expenses with hotels or other facilities. When people do not show up for an event and do not alert HFM we are typically stuck with the expense which is a loss to all.

    We believe offering respect and consideration to fellow HFM community members, speakers, volunteers, and staff is important. We are grateful for your understanding and support.
