Support JDRF at Work

Walk to Cure Diabetes

The Walk to Cure Diabetes is JDRF’s largest fundraising program. In 2009, Walkers raised $89,000,000, nearly half of JDRF’s total public support, thanks to the countless numbers of volunteer teams that support the Walk.

Benefits of team participation:

Promotes teamwork. Whether you have 5 or 5,000 employees, participation in Walk To Cure Diabetes is a great way to build team spirit and a sense of camaraderie among employees.

Increases your visibility in the community. It sends a strong signal that you and your employees care about the health and welfare of your neighbors. In short, it's good public and community relations.

Great way to build employee morale. It demonstrates your company wants to play an important role in supporting worthy, charitable causes. Employees are proud to work for these types of companies.

Costs your company very little since funds are raised through individual donations gathered by team members from co-workers and their families, friends and neighbors.

Fun for your employees and their families and friends. The Walk draws people together in a healthy activity for a worthy cause. It's an event that you and all your team members will feel good about being a part of.
