JDRF offers kids many ways to educate, inspire and motivate their peers to help make a world without type 1 diabetes (T1D). These opportunities allow children, their schools and communities to discover how volunteerism and support make a difference for kids living with T1D.
Schools have the opportunity to be part of the bigger community and receive recognition for their participation in JDRF One Walk, the signature fundraising event for T1D research.
When you create a Walk team that motivates others to join your quest to fight T1D, JDRF provides incentives, resources and rewards for schools and youth organizations. Friendly rivalries and classroom competitions also add to the fun ways people contribute.
You know what your school likes! JDRF Your Way is a flexible fundraising platform with digital tools that lets you do anything—and we mean anything—to teach your peers about T1D and support a world without T1D. Create a unique event, showcase your friends’ talent or use a special occasion to encourage involvement.
A diagnosis of T1D often inspires those affected to join the movement for a cure. Achieve fundraising success while having fun by involving your school, youth organization and community in dynamic, inspiring ways. Contact your local chapter today for educational resources and ways to get your school involved!
