Rock Against Diabetes

Grant Watts School Kids Walk to Cure Diabetes, an event of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation was last month. Students, parents, and families were amazing in their fundraising! The school will receive approx. $460. In 2006 and again in 2008 Grant Watts families raised $4000, donating over $8000 now to diabetes research! I am very pleased to say that this year we surpassed our goal by bringing in approx $4600! Every dollar gets us closer to better treatment and eventually a cure.

With the Hope Gala coming up April 4th, I encourage you to think about volunteering your time. It takes a lot of volunteers to make the night run smoothly. People of all abilities are needed so don’t feel if you have no experience you can’t help. If you are interested please contact the JDRF and let them know.

This summer think about having a garage sale and donating a portion to your charity of choice. We will be having a Garage Sale this year in May again. Don’t want to have your own sale? You can donate items for our sale. We will accept most clean and unbroken merchandise.

Do you like the Jonas Brothers and support diabetes awareness and research? You can get a dog tag to show you care and they also have ones for those of you who have diabetes. You can order your Nick Jonas dog tag for only $5! Henry has one and was very excited to see Nick wearing his at the Kids Choice Awards.
