September is not only the kick-off to all things fall and football, but it is also an important month of partnerships for JDRF. We are proud to announce our partnerships with Advance Auto Parts and Marshalls in the DFW area. JDRF Dallas Youth Ambassadors have stopped by local Advance Auto Parts and Marshall’s stores to welcome employees to the JDRF family.

Thank you to our partner Advance Auto Parts who is running their JDRF fundraising campaign from September 1 through September 30. For the last 26 years, Advance Auto Parts has been an amazing JDRF partner, raising over $44M for T1D research. Be sure to head to your local Advance Auto Parts and donate to JDRF via the purchase of a JDRF Paper Sneaker. Don’t forget to take a selfie with your sneaker and post it to social media using the hashtag #T1DsneakerSpree and let everyone know why supporting JDRF is so important to you.

Thank you to our partner Marshalls who is running their JDRF fundraising campaign from August 25 through September 28! Since 1994, Marshalls has donated more than $38 million to JDRF, supporting the mission to accelerate lifechanging breakthroughs to cure, prevent and treat T1D and its complications. Head to your local Marshalls to make a donation to JDRF at checkout, and remember to post to social media using the hashtag #T1DShoppingSpree to let your friends know how they can support JDRF at Marshalls too! You can find participating stores at JDRF.org/ShopandGiveBack/Marshalls
