| Top Blades Fundraisers presenting the check to JDRF. |
A special thank you to the Glenview Blades for selecting JDRF Illinois as the beneficiary of their annal Skate-A-Thon fundraiser. They chose JDRF this year in support of their fellow teammate, Alyssa Manno. Alyssa and her family team, Alyssa's Angels, have been walking for seven years and have raised over $10,000 through their team's fundraising efforts!
Each skater pledged to raise a minimum of $100 and 10% of the proceeds benefitted JDRF. In addition, a continuous 2-mile stretch of skating during the Skate-A-Thon was dedicated to JDRF. At the event on December 17th, JDRF Representative, Chuck Balling was presented with a check to JDRF for $1,500!

Thank you to the entire Glenview Blades organization and the Manno family for your support of JDRF!
