Display Hosts: Fort Hays State University • Midwest Hemophilia Association
Display Host: Fort Hays State University - Fort Hays State University was the site of one of the largest displays of the AIDS Memorial Quilt in Kansas, showcasing over 100 blocks (nearly 1,000 indiviidual panels). This virual display was curated from those displayed in Hays, KS and represents the love, pain, loss and healing of parent, friends, siblings and lovers across the Sunflower State. Join us in uniting around a common purpose: to end HIV/AIDS!
Display Host: Midwest Hemophilia Association - Since 1990, the Midwest Hemophilia Association (MHA), a charitable 501©3 non-profit, has been improving the quality of life for those diagnosed with a bleeding disorder and their families through advocacy, education, and support. During the 1980’s, approximately half of the people with hemophilia in the US became infected with HIV through contaminated blood products used to treat their bleeding episodes. Thousands of lives were lost—including loved ones from our own MHA family. We are participating with the Aids Memorial Quilt Virtual Exhibition to remember those in our own community who are gone, but not forgotten.
