The JDRF Kids Walk program is an educational, in-school fundraising program with two goals: 1) to educate students about type 1 and type 2 diabetes and the importance of a healthy lifestyle, and 2) to provide them with an opportunity to make a difference by raising money for type 1 diabetes (T1D) research.

How It Works

• JDRF provides a turnkey community service program for your school and students.
• The campaign begins with an educational kick-off where students learn about diabetes, healthy living and effective fundraising strategies.
• Students have two weeks to collect funds ( or whatever timeframe works best for the school)
• Two weeks after the kickoff, the campaign wraps up with a celebratory JDRF Kids Walk at your school!
• This program is flexible and can really be whatever works best for the school

It’s FUN, it’s EASY, and it’s EDUCATIONAL! And… it’s all about Kids Helping Kids
