My Nana's Salsa Challenge is the largest fundraiser of the year for the Arizona Bleeding Disorders non-profit organization.

Arizona Bleeding Disorders is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for people with inherited bleeding disorders through advocacy, education, connection and support.

It is with mixed emotions that we announce the discontinuation of the Annual Salsa Challenge Event hosted by Arizona Bleeding Disorders. After much deliberation and careful consideration, we have come to the difficult decision to conclude this beloved event.

The Annual Salsa Challenge has been a cherished tradition within our community for many years, and we are immensely grateful for the unwavering support it has received from our dedicated participants, sponsors, volunteers, and the community at large. This event has not only brought people together for a day of fun and flavor but has also played a vital role in raising funds for our organization's mission to support those affected by bleeding disorders in Arizona.

Over the years, the Annual Salsa Challenge has grown in scale and complexity, and with that growth came increased financial demands. Unfortunately, the cost of hosting such a large-scale event has surpassed what a small local nonprofit like ours is able to invest in a fundraiser. We have reached a point where the financial burden associated with organizing this event is no longer sustainable for our organization.

While we are sad to close this chapter in our organization's history, we firmly believe that this decision is necessary for the long-term sustainability of Arizona Bleeding Disorders. Our primary commitment is to continue providing vital services, support, and programming for the Arizona Bleeding Disorder Community. This decision will allow us to allocate resources more effectively toward these essential programs and services.

We extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who has been a part of the Annual Salsa Challenge journey. Your contributions, enthusiasm, and dedication have made a significant impact on our organization and the bleeding disorder community. We look forward to your continued support as we embark on this new chapter and work together to build a brighter future.
