Sponsor a Walk! Corporate sponsorship is a terrific way for companies to meet their marketing goals. It helps generate exposure and is a great way to support the community. If you think your employer may be interested in sponsorship, we can work to help get them involved. |

Buy sneakers at your local Hy-Vee, Marshall, or Walgreens store or sale sneakers to raise money for a cure. Click here to view a video with Ed Wilson, WHO-TV. You can save and email the video to your friends and family to spread the word about sneaker sales. Sneakers are a good way to build excitement about the Walk in your community while raising research dollars. Contact JDRF to learn more! |
|
Become a Walk Volunteer or join the Walk Committee. Time commitments vary and work around your schedule. Also we are looking for Youth Ambassadors, children with type 1 diabetes that can represent their community or a local company. Youth Ambassadors help employees and communities understand the everyday challenges of living with diabetes. |
We are within walking distance of a cure!

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.
