Balk Golf Outing 

This was the first year for this family run outing! Kaitlyn Balk said, “The reason I put this on and why it means so much to me, is because my daughter Charli Rae was diagnosed at age 2 1/2. November 13th of this year will mark 3 years for her being T1D. I will never stop fighting for her! I truly believe in her lifetime we will see something magical happen with diabetes!” They raised over $22,000 to support JDRF!
