Lincoln Chapter

Welcome to the Lincoln Chapter of JDRF
 
Established in 1974, the Lincoln Chapter has an active board of 24 members and six committees including: Outreach/Communications, Strategic Planning, Government Relations, Major Gifts, Nominating and Corporate Development. The chapter is staffed with an Executive Director, Special Events Coordinator and part-time Administrative Assistant.  Currently the chapter hosts two annual special events, the Walk To Cure Diabetes and the Dream Gala.

As the chapter grows, greater emphasis is being placed on outreach efforts. The Bag of Hope is an education and outreach program available through the chapter that is designed to reach young children and teenagers with diabetes and their families at the time of diagnosis. The Bag of Hope contains a comprehensive collection of educational and comforting materials for the entire family. The chapter's long-range plans include the establishment of support groups covering topics from initial diagnosis to adolescence issues and beyond.

Volunteers are always needed and appreciated, whether assisting in the office, serving as a government relations advocate, or working on a committee or an event. If you have a little bit of time to give and want to make a big difference in the search for the cure, contact the office for information on available opportunities.

 

                             

  

 



With your help, we are moving research from the laboratory bench to the patient's bedside, translating scientific advances into longer, healthier lives for those with diabetes. With your help, we are moving closer to our goal ... a cure for diabetes and its complications.
