JDRF: GREATER BLUE RIDGE CHAPTER
Find a cure. Fast.
This is precisely the goal of JDRF. Through fundraising that directly supports research, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation is working for families across the nation to find a cure for type 1 diabetes and its complications.
The Greater Blue Ridge Chapter sponsors 2 major fundraisers a year: The Star City Gala and Walk To Cure Diabetes. Please browse our site. We welcome any suggestions you may have that will enhance the function of this site.
We want you to help us turn current research into reality.
