Attendant Collection Centers to Benefit JDRF

Thank you to everyone who has donated at these locations.  Unfortunately this program has permanently ended due to COVID19.  Plaza Marketing has been working with JDRF Illinois for over 30 years. Donating an old toaster or shirt may not seem like a lot, but this partnership has raised over $200,000 for T1D research in just the past three years. Your donations have made a real difference in the lives of those with T1D.

Thank you to Plaza Marketing for the efforts to turn Type 1 into Type None!

FRIO Case

JDRF Illinois has partnered with FRIO to make their insulin case available in Illinois. When you use the code “JDRFIL” at checkout, you will receive 10% off of your purchase AND 15% of proceeds will be donated to JDRF! The FRIO® is a reusable evaporative insulin cooler whose cooling properties do not come from anything that needs refrigeration, but from the evaporation of water. In other words, all you have to do is add water to your FRIO®, and your insulin will be kept cool for days – no refrigeration needed – meaning you now have the freedom to go where you want to go and do what you want to do without worrying about your insulin spoiling! You can learn much more, and purchase your very own FRIO, at www.FRIOCase.com.

Lauren’s Hope

In 2001, Lauren’s Hope introduced the very first interchangeable medical ID bracelet, and overnight, people who had grudgingly worn, or even refused to wear, the standard, plain metal medical ID bracelets of the past suddenly had attractive, durable, stylish options they could enjoy wearing and change to suit their mood, outfit, or activity. Today, more than 400,000 people wear Lauren’s Hope medical IDs every day, and we’re proud to say that number just keeps growing. Lauren’s Hope was the first to introduce fashionable medical identification products for men, women, and children, and we continue to lead the way.

Purchase your medical ID bracelet from Lauren’s Hope and 8% of the proceeds will be donated back to JDRF Illinois.
