NBDF and Talk About It bring live music, personal stories, advocacy, and education to screens nationwide on March 28

NEW YORK, March 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- To mark the 10th anniversary of Bleeding Disorders Awareness Month, the National Bleeding Disorders Foundation (NBDF) and Talk About It are teaming up for Bleeding.org LIVE! — the first-ever celebrity-driven national event dedicated to the bleeding disorders community. The three-hour livestream airs March 28 at 4:00 PM PDT on bleeding.org, and everyone is invited.

Hosted by actor, producer, and advocate Greg Grunberg (Heroes, Star Wars), Co-Founder of Talk About It, and NBDF President and CEO Philip M. Gattone, M.Ed., the evening is a centerpiece of NBDF's Educate to Elevate campaign — a multi-platform initiative bringing celebrity voices, medical expertise, and community stories together to drive awareness and action across the bleeding disorders community. NBDF chapter leaders from across the country will join from live watch parties, celebrating their communities and spotlighting local victories.

"Bleeding Disorders Awareness Month has always been about making sure no one in this community felt invisible," said Gattone. "Bleeding.org LIVE! takes that mission to a whole new level — we're celebrating our people, amplifying voices that need to be heard, especially women and girls who are too often underdiagnosed. Our live event will give everyone a real way to take action and shape the future of their care."

"I've spent years sitting across from people and asking them to talk about the things that matter most — their health, their families, the stuff that's hard to say out loud," said Grunberg. "The bleeding disorders community has never seen a night like this. A night where Hollywood shows up, the music is live, and the whole country is watching. That's what March 28 is. And it's long overdue."

The evening will feature:

• Celebrity appearances from Jennifer Garner (13 Going on 30, Alias), Alex Borstein (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Family Guy), Bobby Moynihan (Saturday Night Live, The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins), Scott Foley (Scandal, Felicity), Dr. Drew Pinsky, Pearce Joza (Zombies, Under the Lights), Daniel DiMaggio (American Housewife, Daddy's Home 2), and Carla Jeffery (Zombies, American Vandal)
• Special musical performances by Jennifer Love Hewitt (Ghost Whisperer, Party of Five), Scott Grimes (Ted, The Orville), Rob Benedict (Supernatural), Jack Coleman (Heroes, The Office), Drew Powell (Gotham), and Nick Marzock (singer-songwriter)
