We are excited to continue the involvement from members of the Nebraska Chapter in the Junior National Championship from CSL Behring.
Participants will have the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of their respective sport, participate in friendly competition, and have a chance to connect with fellow members of the bleeding disorders community from across the country. Additionally, educational seminars focusing on the importance of physical fitness and other related topics will be available on site.
During the program participants will have the opportunity to:
- Participate in baseball, basketball, golf, or swimming activities to learn the fundamentals and enhance their skills in that sport.
- Learn about the importance of physical fitness in managing a bleeding disorder and receive instructions on proper stretching techniques and good athletic form.
- Show off their golf, swimming, basketball or baseball abilities in a national competition with fellow participants from around the country.
- Connect and build relationships with fellow members of the bleeding disorders community by sharing their personal experiences with one another.
The event takes place April 30 - May 2 in Henderson, NV.
CSL Behring will pay for two youth participants (7-18 years of age) with a bleeding disorder and a parent/guardian each to attend the program.
To be considered for this opportunity, please fill out this form, and register one (parent/guardian) and one (child 18 and under who is diagnosed with a bleeding disorder) that will be attending if selected.
This is open to all Nebraska Chapter members residing in the state of Nebraska.

The selected adults and youths will be provided with airfare & transportation to the Junior National Championship, along with hotel accommodations and select meals.
The nominees will be randomly chosen from the completed interest forms and notified by XXXXXX. Preference will be given to individuals who have not participated in JNC previously.
