Great Lakes Hemophilia Foundation’s (GLHF) 12th annual Milwaukee’s Best Bloody contest will be held Sunday, February 25 from 10:30 am until 2:30 pm. at the Italian Community Center, 631 E. Chicago St., Milwaukee. Milwaukee area bars and restaurants enjoy the opportunity to give back in a fun, unique way while showcasing their signature mix and garnish. Stay tuned for details regarding location and ticket sales.

Hemophilia and von Willebrand disease are rare bleeding disorders and impact more than 3,600 Wisconsin families. Almost 90% of this population resides in the greater Milwaukee area. Families face many challenges — social, financial, and medical. GLHF’s mission is to educate, support and advocate for the bleeding disorders community; and our vision is to help people and families living with a bleeding disorder live life with fewer limitations.

Please continue to watch our events page for information about Greem Bay’s Best Bloody (May 5) and Madison’s Best Bloody (April 7).

Milwaukee bartenders showcase their signature Bloody Mary recipes while guests enjoy beer chasers, appetizers and vote for their favorite bloody. Watch our website’s Events page, as well as Facebook and Instagram sites in the coming weeks for information about different ticket packages, as well as some of this year’s participants.

GIVE LOCAL

Proceeds from Milwaukee’s Best Bloody helps support programs like Camp Klotty Pine for children living with a bleeding disorder; Family Camp; the Wisconsin Bleeding Disorders Conference; Wisconsin Legislative Day; educational scholarships and emergency patient financial assistance. In addition to funds raised to support our local programs and services, GLHF is part of a national awareness campaign to help the estimated 1-2% of the population who have a bleeding disorder get a diagnosis.

Milwaukee’s Best Bloody, a fundraiser for the Wisconsin bleeding disorders community, has experienced incredible growth over the last several years, and we’re hoping to continue that growth now that we’re back in person this year. Ticket information will be available on our website in the coming weeks. Visit our Events page, as well as our social media sites, in the coming weeks for more information.

All tickets, including VIP and 6-Packs, include samples of every participating bar and restaurant, as well as appetizers. Designated Driver tickets are also available and include non-alcoholic Bloody Mary samples. This is a 21+ event.
