All family teams were recently sent a packet of information about our Kids Walk to Cure Diabetes program.  Please take the time to review this information about this exciting program.  Help us raise more funds for research and a cure by organizing a Kids Walk at your child's school! 

The Kids Walk to Cure Diabetes is an educational school fundraising program that raises money to find a cure for type 1 diabetes. While raising money for JDRF, students learn about diabetes and the importance of making healthy choices. The money raised through this program helps fund type 1 diabetes research and provides additional dollars for your school to use on equipment, field trips, books or whatever your school needs!

How the JDRF Kids Walk to Cure Diabetes Program Works in 5 Easy Steps:

1.  Contact your local Walk Manager to schedule your Kids Walk.  Pick two days, two weeks apart.  Your school can participate anytime of the year!

2.  On the first scheduled date, students are taught about diabetes and the Kids Walk program is explained.

3.  Students have two weeks to collect donations.

4.  Two weeks after the classes have been taught, the Kids Walk to Cure Diabetes is held on your campus. 

5.  Wrap up your campaign.  Expect the students’ prizes, your school banner and your 10% appreciation check to arrive six weeks after your donations and order forms have been received.

Start planning your own JDRF Kids Walk today!  Send in the form that was included in the packet and a JDRF Walk Manager will follow-up with you.  To learn more, please visit
