At the heart of BCDI is our incredible community. Our number one priority is to provide optimal outcomes for our patients and their families throughout their entire health journey. As “The Blood Experts” we place a major emphasis on our patients living longer, healthier lives. That translates to the highest level of comprehensive care, education, advocacy, access to healthcare, and research as possible.

The BCDI Foundation was created in 2022 with the goal of enhancing support and resources available for BCDI to improve the lives of individuals affected by bleeding, clotting or other blood disorders. The mission of the BCDI Foundation is to raise crucial funds and awareness for the services BCDI supplies outside of our clinic walls, including scholarship programs, continuing education for BCDI patients and staff members, support of BCDI research, emergency financial assistance, and many other initiatives that impact the lives of those we serve. The BCDI Foundation aims to create a sense of community among patients, families and advocates, providing emotional support and shared experiences.

 

  • Why support the Bleeding & Clotting Disorders Institute Foundation?  The goal of the BCDI Foundation is to provide crucial funds to further the mission of BCDI to provide integrated, family-oriented care, treatment and education for individuals with bleeding, blood clotting and other blood disorders.  Contributions to the BCDI Foundation helps us support our patients in ways we are unable to with funds derived from our pharmacy program.  These activities include things such as The Green Family Scholarship Fund, support of research, continuing education for our patients and staff members, and other initiatives to improve the lives of community members impacted by bleeding and blood clotting disorders throughout the state of Illinois.​​
  • Why should you consider BCDI over other organizations?  As a federally funded, not-for-profit hemophilia treatment center of excellence, BCDI’s entire mission is to improve the lives of patients with bleeding and blood clotting disorders.  We have a long and recognized track record of responsible financial stewardship and proven optimal outcomes for our patients.  A dollar spent supporting the BCDI Foundation is a dollar that directly impacts the lives of those not only those we serve in Illinois, but throughout the Midwest and the entire United States.
  • Is the BCDI Foundation a chapter? No, the BCDI Foundation is not a chapter and does not function as one. The BCDI Foundation is an assisting organization that raises money to support all of the Hemophilia Treatment Center services that BCDI provides. The BCDI Foundation is not affiliated with any national organization to gain chapter status.

The BCDI Foundation Logo

The BCDI Foundation logo brings new life to the “Blood Huggers” logo that is synonymous with the Bleeding & Clotting Disorders Institute.

With the creation of the BCDI Foundation, we are excited to tell the story of the brand new BCDI Foundation logo. The BCDI Foundation logo takes inspiration from the classic BCDI “Blood Huggers” logo, but provides a new meaning.

An important part of any logo is storytelling, and our original BCDI logo tells a compelling story: BCDI, its patients, and their families coming together to create a community united by blood disorders.

We want to expand upon that story with this new logo for the BCDI Foundation.

The original logo represents the care and community that patients receive when they seek treatment at BCDI. In contrast, the characters in the new logo are depicted in a dynamic pose that conveys activity, celebration and strength. This design symbolizes the positive impact a donation to the BCDI Foundation will have and how significantly our patients will benefit from it.

The blood drops are a key aspect present in both logos, representing the blood disorders we treat at BCDI. In our new BCDI Foundation logo, the blood drop remains an important element of each figure, but it is no longer central to them. Thanks to the care and support these figures receive from BCDI and their community, they are no longer defined by their blood disorder. They can go out into the world, live full lives, and advocate for themselves and their community!

This logo retains the iconic and recognizable BCDI colors, figures and font, while also representing the goals of BCDI’s fundraising efforts through the BCDI Foundation.
