Event Overview: The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's (JDRF) Walk To Cure Diabetes is one of the fastest growing fundraising events in the world. Each year, over 500,000 people "walk for a cure" at 200 JDRF Walk locations in over a dozen countries. Funds are raised by individual and team walkers obtaining donations from family, friends, co-workers and neighbors. Monies are also raised through corporate sponsorship and the sale of JDRF paper sneakers at retail outlets. Locally, JDRF's Philadelphia and Bucks County walk sites welcome nearly 10,000 people and have raised millions of dollars over the years for diabetes research.
"Say Boo to Diabetes" With the Walk taking place in October--we think its only appropriate for the theme to be Halloween! So come on out on October 25th, wear your costume, decorate your table, and "Say Boo to Diabetes!" with 10,000 other walkers!
