Join us for the FBDA Living Carousel Walkathon Festival, our largest and most important fundraising event of the year!
Most importantly, every step helps support FBDA’s mission and the individuals and families throughout Florida’s bleeding disorders community.
Step into the Living Carousel—an unforgettable walkathon experience where every registered participant receives an inflatable pony upon arrival and becomes part of the carousel! Together, we’ll walk with our ponies around the Carousel Club’s iconic moving carousel, bringing the Living Carousel to life in a one-of-a-kind celebration of community, hope, and giving.
Come dressed in your favorite costume and bring your family and friends for an epic evening featuring a costume contest, carnival booths, trick-or-treating for the kids, DJ entertainment, a 50/50 raffle, silent auction, delicious food and drinks, and plenty of surprises throughout the night.
Your pony will be waiting! Join the Living Carousel and make every step count.
On Thursday, September 10, FBDA brought together sponsors, supporters, and community members for a carnival-themed kickoff and happy hour at Midtown 24 in Plantation, celebrating the road to this year’s Living Carousel Walkathon. Presented with generous support from AGGP and Sanofi, the evening was full of carnival fun, connection, and community spirit. Click here to view more photos!
