HEMOPHILIA FOUNDATION TO DEDICATE NEW BUILDING
YPSILANTI, MI, May 17, 2005/PRNewswire/
-- In February 2002, an arson fire destroyed the offices and historical
records of the Hemophilia Foundation of Michigan. Although much was
lost, the foundation has emerged in renewed commitment to serving those
with bleeding disorders. Now, just over three years since the
devastating fire, HFM marks the beginning of a new era as it dedicates
its new home located in Ypsilanti.
Prior
to beginning construction, HFM established a Building Campaign, with
the goal of raising $500,000 towards the new facility. “Response to
our building campaign has been very gratifying,” said Ivan Harner,
Executive Director. “Our board members, staff and consumer constituents
have come forward with strong support of this campaign which will help
move HFM forward in serving the bleeding disorders community in the
years ahead,” he continued. To date, the foundation has raised
forty-five percent of the building campaign goal through cash donations
and in-kind gifts.
On
Saturday, May 21, 2005, from 1:00 pm until 4:00 pm, the Hemophilia
Foundation of Michigan will host an Open House and will dedicate its
offices and new home. HFM invites its constituents and all others with
an interest in the foundation’s mission to join in the celebration. The
event will also provide an opportunity to gather historical information
from guests in an ongoing effort to rebuild the historical records of
the foundation that were lost in the 2002 fire.
The Hemophilia Foundation of Michigan is located at 1921 W. Michigan Avenue, Ypsilanti. For information, or to make your reservation, please call 734-544-0015 or 800-482-3041.
HEMOPHILIA FOUNDATION TO MOVE INTO NEW BUILDING
YPSILANTI, MI, November 23, 2004/PRNewswire/ -- The Hemophilia Foundation of Michigan (HFM) recently moved into its new home at 1921 West Michigan Avenue in Ypsilanti Township. HFM lost its offices, furnishings and historical archives in an arson fire in February 2002. Following the fire, the foundation occupied temporary quarters while constructing a permanent home. The new facility houses the foundation’s operations and serves as a central location for the bleeding disorders community. Historical archives of the foundation will be restored and incorporated in the new building. A permanent outdoor memorial, the Butterfly Memorial Wall, honoring those who have lost their lives to hemophilia and other bleeding disorders will be a focal point at the new facility. On December 4, 2004,
the Board of Directors will meet in the new facility for the first
time. “I have recently enjoyed a tour of our new building and I eagerly
anticipate showing it off to our directors when the board meets on
December 4,” said HFM President, Shelley Gerson. “I know that our
directors will be every bit as thrilled with our new home as I am,”
continued Gerson. “I recall the humble beginnings of the foundation.
Our first board meetings were held at my parents’ dining room table
which also served as the foundation’s first office. Now we have our
very own permanent home, after those early years at our dining room
table and several decades in rental facilities that we seemed always to
quickly outgrow.”
