The 2021 Greater Western Carolinas (GWC) One Walk season is underway, with nearly 120 teams and over 300 participants registered to-date!  Our incredible community has come out to support this region’s Walk once again, and we can’t wait to see how many miles we can walk and dollars we can raise as we work together toward a world without T1D!

Playing a pivotal role in the success of this year’s GWC Walk season are our generous corporate partners.  We are inspired by their investment in our mission, spirit of community and commitment to making a difference for T1D families across the region.  On behalf of all of us at JDRF, an extra-special thanks to this year’s Presenting, Partner and Platinum level GWC Walk sponsors:

This year’s GWC Walk Presenting Sponsor is Medallia, the pioneer and market leader in Experience Management.  They first sponsored our market last year as Presenting Sponsor of the Charlotte Hope Gala and have expanded that support to Presenting Sponsor of both the Gala and the GWC Walk this year!  As Medallia CEO Leslie Stretch said, “With 1.6 million Americans living with this condition that affects us in so many ways, JDRF’s efforts are commendable…it’s wonderful to be the Presenting Sponsor and we hope to support [JDRF] over the coming years.”  Medallia sponsors dreamers, doers, achievers, and leaders and love to “champion the champions.”  We are so grateful to Medallia for championing our T1D champions!

Above all, Novant Health is committed to making healthcare remarkable.  Their commitment to serving communities is what drives them to provide programs and services that are strategically focused on achieving health equity and improving health outcomes.  JDRF shares that commitment, and we are proud to have Novant Health as a longstanding, leading corporate partner.

Brothers Air, a local leader in the heating, cooling and plumbing industry, is a longstanding JDRF Walk supporter.  In business since 2002, Brothers has serviced thousands of homeowners in the Charlotte market with exceptional service on their HVAC and Plumbing systems.  Brothers truly enjoys giving back to our community, and we are proud to have them as a corporate partner.

Rodgers’ passion may be building, but they are also passionate about building community with care, relationships with integrity, people who lead, and buildings with purpose.  A commitment to these values has allowed Rodgers to develop strong partnerships in the communities where they live and work, including with JDRF.

Thank you to these corporate sponsors, leading by example in our community.

We are proud to partner with you on this year’s Greater Western Carolinas One Walk!
