Thank you for deciding to create a Fund a Cure Join Me fundraising page!
For the second year, members of the Delaware Branch can help accelerate the pace of diabetes research by partnering with JDRF to raise funds for the annual Hope Ball Fund a Cure Campaign. All you have to do is set up a fundraising page, email it to your peers or link it to your Facebook page and ask for support! To get started, please sign up by clicking the link below.
Fund a Cure is a unique opportunity to make a 100% tax-deductible donation to JDRF that will fund vital research to cure, treat and prevent type 1 diabetes. Since 1994, JDRF has raised over $211 million through Fund a Cure alone.
This year, JDRF Delaware's Fund a Cure campaign will support the Artificial Pancreas Project. Please click the link below to view a video that describes the exciting progress of the APP.

Type
1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease in which the body's immune
system attacks and destroys the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas.
While its causes are not yet entirely understood, scientists believe
that both genetic factors and environmental triggers are involved.
JDRF
is the leading global organization focused on T1D research. Driven by
passionate, grassroots volunteers connected to children, adolescents,
and adults with this disease, JDRF is the largest charitable supporter
of T1D research. The goal of JDRF is to improve the lives of every
person affected by T1D by accelerating progress on the most promising
opportunities for curing, better treating, and preventing T1D. More than
80 percent of JDRF's expenditures directly support research and
research-related education. JDRF will not rest until T1D is fully
conquered.
