Arizona Community Walk Success!

On Saturday November 7th over 1,000 JDRF supporters from across southern Arizona attended the 2017 JDRF Community One Walk™!  New and returning One Walk™ teams showed up to support someone they love living with T1D!  JDRF is thrilled to announce we’ve exceeded our goal, having risen over $65,000 for T1D research and we haven’t stopped!  You can still donate to a walker or walk team, by visiting walk.jdrf.org/Tucson.

JDRF would like to extend thanks to the local food truck vendors who joined the One Walk™ festivities: Baskin’ Robbins, Drew’s Dogs, GiGi’s Mexican Peruvian Fusion, Roadrunner Wood Fired Pizza, & Shaka’s Hawaiian Grill.

Lastly, our gratitude to the volunteers who worked tirelessly to make the event a success!  Especially members of JDRF’s Southern Arizona Walk Committee, who gave countless hours to ensure the event was spectacular!
