Little Changes can make a Big Difference
Did you happen to catch One Night, JDRF’s first-of-its-kind virtual event on June 23?
The global event promised community, entertainment and inspiration for people affected by type 1 diabetes (T1D).With video vignettes, messages from special guests and an exclusive musical performance, the event did not disappoint!
Whether you missed the original, live broadcast or want to relive the memorable moments, visit us online to watch the full, recorded broadcast.
The broadcast also included segments about the JDRF and Beyond Type 1 Alliance, and links to recommendations for people with diabetes during COVID-19.
The recommendations aim to prevent the spread of coronavirus and arm people with diabetes with specific actions to take right now. Explore the #BigLittleChanges changes YOU can make to protect our community at coronavirusdiabetes.org.
We love the #BigLittleChanges campaign, because we truly believe that little changes can make a big difference.
Here are three more (big) little changes you can make:
1. Become a JDRF Advocate
It takes a minute to register, there’s no fundraising necessary, and our advocates create real change.
When 27,000 advocates sent more than 145,000 emails to UnitedHealthcare (UHC), the nation’s largest insurer, UHC listened. Last week, announced they will be increasing choice in diabetes technology and begin covering Tandem Diabetes’ insulin pumps in-network.
UHC’s decision to cover Tandem pumps demonstrates the power of the T1D community’s collective voice. So, please add your voice today!
2. Shop via AmazonSmile
Did you know that when you shop Amazon via AmazonSmile (smile.amazon.com), the AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of the price of eligible purchases to the charitable organization of your choice?
Once you navigate to AmazonSmile, you can set your purchases to support JDRF International.
And, the small change really adds up; from January – March, JDRF received more than $35,000 from AmazonSmile donations!
3. Patronize our Partners
JDRF has some amazing retail partners, committed to funding our life-changing research. Visit our Shop & Give Back page to view our partner’s promotions before making your next purchase.
From clothing retailer Veronica Beard to PopSocket, you’ll find a retailer to support that supports you!
