Thanks to your efforts, we’re well on our way to meeting our fundraising goal of $2.2 million for this year’s New England Chapter Walk and Ride programs. However, there is still more work to do until we find a cure.

To celebrate the season of giving, we are excited about this match opportunity that we’re counting on you to help us leverage. Several families in our chapter community have committed to generously match EVERY gift up to $100,000 made to the New England Chapter.

Gifts will be matched dollar for dollar through year-end. Now is the time to make your first or an additional donation, expand your circle, utilize your favorite social media networks, ask someone whose cause you have supported to now support JDRF, and/or send that third reminder to those who haven’t given yet to your Walk/Ride campaign. Forward this email along to your family, friends, and colleagues, or view our suggested email and social media messaging.

Not a Walker or a Rider? You can still help us leverage this match opportunity by making a gift to www2.jdrf.org/goto/NewEngland.

Did you know that for every $1 you give to JDRF locally, $2.55 comes back in local research grants? Fulfilling this match is a crucial step as we continue to drive scientific progress here in New England and across the globe. Through your commitment and that of our entire JDRF community, we are confident that we will exceed expectations during this match opportunity.

Will your gift be the one that helps us meet our goal?
