in Events, Fundraising
We hope you are just as excited as we are for our first ever National JDRF One Walk. This will be an amazing opportunity for our WHOLE community to come together. To ensure your team is as successful as possible this year, we’ve pulled together some resources to help you in your team recruitment, fundraising and overall energy generation about this exciting event!
National One Walk Overview
So what is the JDRF National One Walk exactly? This year we are coming together as a T1D community from across the nation to reach some big goals – raising $50 million in honor of our 50 years as an organization and walking 1.6 million miles in honor of the 1.6 million Americans living with T1D. As soon as you register your team, you become a part of this national movement to impact T1D research. On November 1st (which is also National T1D Day!) we will come together to celebrate our accomplishments at the Finish Line Festival! You don’t want to miss out on being a part of this innovative event.
