More than 70 attendees joined JDRF New Jersey Metro & Rockland County Chapter on Wednesday night at Branchburg Sports Complex to kick off JDRF One Walk.

Returning teams, top fundraisers and first-year teams mingled during dinner. After dinner kids enjoyed soccer, laser tag and more while adults were treated to a research update, shared fundraising ideas and heard from several speakers.

We challenged our attendees to brainstorm One Walk fundraising ideas. While Walking on Sunshine played in the background, attendees thought of 40 creative fundraising ideas.

Check out this JDRF One Walk Fundraising Ideas list and feel free to share your ideas and success stories with us!

At the event, Family Team Chair Jim McCue shared what excites him and his Walk team, Team Danny X, and highlighted how he uses social media to fundraise. You’ll definitely want to check out these One Walk Social Media Best Practices to successfully fundraise with social media!
