MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN CENTRAL VIRGINIA and the lives of so many... JDRF is the leading charitable funder and advocate of type 1 (juvenile) diabetes research worldwide. The mission of JDRF is to find a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support of research. Type 1 diabetes is a disease which strikes children suddenly and requires multiple injections of insulin daily or a continuous infusion of insulin through a pump. Insulin, however, is not a cure for diabetes, nor does it prevent its eventual and devastating complications which may include kidney failure, blindness, heart disease, stroke, and amputation. Since its founding, JDRF has funded more than $1.4 billion in research toward our mission: to find a cure for type 1 diabetes and its complication. In FY 2009, JDRF funded more than $100 million in science in 22 countries worldwide, including more than 40 human clinical trials. |

Komar, the largest sleepwear and intimate apparel manufacturer in the United States, created PJs for the Cure to benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) and kick-off National Diabetes Month. In an effort to effectively support the Foundation, Komar has chosen to take an active role and do what they do best- design, produce, and sell women's and children's pajamas to raise money to help find a cure for type 1 diabetes. This program is unique in that Komar is donating 100% of every sale to JDRF to fund further research for a cure for this chronic disease that predominately strikes in childhood. The goal is to raise $1 million for JDRF by selling comfy cotton pajamas. |
