Treasure Valley Walk of Fame

We are planning on displaying posters of our T1D heroes on Walk Day (for anyone who submits them).  THIS YEAR we are going to be placing these posters along the Walk Route where everyone will see them!  Only catch is, we are asking that you USE OUR STOCK for the posters.  This means you’ll need to plan ahead a little bit and pick up a blank poster to use, as well as deliver it to the appropriate drop location (*they’re the same place*) prior to the Walk.  There’s no specific requirements on what to include on your poster – just a big photo of your T1 loved one, along with some fun facts about them (i.e. what they like to do for fun, favorite things, etc), and  a paragraph about their life with diabetes.  Help your child to express their creativity and make sure their name is BIG AND BOLD.  I hope you will seriously consider creating a poster for your loved one, telling their story, and helping them to feel special at the Walk!

We are asking that your posters be submitted no later than Friday, May 19th for inclusion in our “Walk of Fame” (our volunteers prep and place the posters prior to Walk Registration beginning).  If you have any questions about content, or otherwise, please feel free to reach out to me or to one of our drop off volunteers!

You can pick up AND drop your poster off (remember, we are requesting you use OUR uniform stock this year) at one of the following locations and JDRF volunteers will bring them the morning of the Walk.  You are welcome to text or call the number listed if you would like to arrange a specific time with one of our volunteers.
