We were inspired to partner with Breakthrough T1D after my son’s diagnosis, but that led to conversations with our employees, who were also touched by type 1 diabetes. I didn’t realize how much it touched our entire SanMar community. It reflects our values, our purpose statement to be a company to create meaningful connections to elevate lives.”
