Special thanks to The Sperling Brothers Foundation who held their 3rd Annual Golf Outing on July 13th at Silver Lakes Country Club. JDRF was chosen as the recipient of this year’s outing. The foundation donated $20,000 to support Sydney’s Angels. Sydney Mann, age 11, shared her struggles and feelings of having type 1 with the dinner guests.
