INVEST In the future by sending a child to camp
2020 is the first year that our foundation is reaching out to the public for your help to send our local kids to camp. Camp for children with Type 1 Diabetes is a place like no other! Here they are surrounded by other children also living with T1D and everyone there understands their journey with this condition.
Camp helps them form strong bonds with new friends, realize all the things they CAN do despite their diagnosis and it empowers them through the knowledge they gain while attending. Camp is truly a lifetime investment in their health!
This camp is 3 weeks long, all their medication is provided and it is staffed by medical professionals around the clock to care for them. The cost of camp is $3800 a child to attend. Please help us show our area youth we are all jointly invested in their future by donating today!
