Promise Digest & Video – Telling Them How It Is…
The end of the summer wraps up with some amazing successes for JDRF’s Promise to Remember Me Campaign. Earlier this week I had mentioned that we managed to complete or schedule 113 meetings before August ended, surpassing our goal of 100! This is due to the leadership of our Campaign Coordinators and your support for them locally… as I write this, the Campaign sits at 124 meetings!
As we all prepare to celebrate Labor Day, check out some of the work advocates have put into the success of Promise Campaign over the last month. First, it’s a video by one of our young advocate leaders telling his member of congress what it means to live with type 1. Followed by a list of meetings that are up on the Promise website. If you attended a meeting in the last month, check out if it’s listed below and be sure to share it with your family and friends on your favorite social media site like Facebook or Twitter:
