JDRF is the only global diabetes foundation with a strategic plan to end type 1 diabetes (T1D). Donations to JDRF will help bring life-changing therapies from the lab to the type 1 community.
The event has been run and the donation period has closed - and we've raised $1700 to help fight juvenile diabetes. That's $100 more than last year! We also gave away $200 more in youth college scholarships, with first place taking $300, second taking $200, third at $100 and fourth place with $68. Overall the campaign was a great success, thanks to all our amazing supporters, and we're looking forward to doing it again next year!
In 2009, just a few months before his 7th birthday, Colin was diagnosed with Type I Diabetes. Life changed seemingly overnight, and life since then has been a challenge. Now at 15 years old he's taking charge of his disease and raising money to help fund research into a cure! This will be our second bowling tournament fundraiser. Last year you helped Colin provide $400 in college scholarships to deserving youth bowlers, and it was our deepest pleasure to present a check for $1600 to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. We've increased our goal this year to $2500 and hope you'll join us in hitting this new ambitious target!

We've almost hit 20% of our goal, thanks to a few very generous and much appreciated donations! Let's build the momentum - we only have a couple of weeks left!
