VOLUNTEER

YOU can be a part of the cure! If you have been touched by diabetes, you can do something to help find the cure. Not everyone is able to make monetary donations, but everyone has something to offer, and we need your contribution.

Consider these opportunities:

Start a walk team with your family, friends, neighbors or co-workers. Challenge them to each raise $100 and bring a friend to the Walk. If you recruit a team of 5, that’s $500! If everyone brings a friend, that’s $1,000! The sky is the limit!

Work on the Walk, Gala, Golf, Ride, or Outreach Committee. Love to golf? Plan parties? Have you had a successful Walk in the past and want to help this year? Are you interested in reaching out to the community? Are you a student looking for community service opportunities? We would love to have you!

Plan a third party event around something you enjoy; Bowling for a Cure, Skate for Diabetes. Have a local restaurant you frequent? Ask the owners to have a night where part of the proceeds goes to JDRF. Thinking small yields big results! Think about it, $1 for every pizza sold in a typical night could bring in a lot for our Chapter and our kids!

Hold a tag sale of used sports equipment and advertise that the proceeds go toward curing diabetes be sure to send a notice to your local paper. We can help!

Host a Walk for Kids event in your childs school. Grab a group of mothers to sell baked goods during the event. The kids will be excited about helping one of their friends and the school will love the 10% of the proceeds that they get! A win-win!

Help us build relationships with your company. We are always looking for corporate sponsorships and they get great, year round publicity from the many events that we do!

Whatever you chose to do will bring us all closer to the cure. Please call the Chapter office for more information or to volunteer. We would be happy to talk with you to find out how you can help, even if you don’t have something already in mind, we would love to have YOU!

Please call us to get involved today!
