Kids and families brought creativity and heart to Kids Create events in both Central PA and Pittsburgh, reminding us that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breakthrought1d.org\/explore-advocacy\/\">advocacy<\/a> and storytelling can take many forms \u2014 including paint, imagination, and joy.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1595\" data-end=\"1783\">We were also honored to see Greater PA &amp; WV recognized as a finalist for the GBU Life Foundation Community Award, a moment that reflected the collective effort happening across our region.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1785\" data-end=\"1838\"><strong data-start=\"1789\" data-end=\"1836\">Spring: Advocacy, Learning, and Celebration<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1839\" data-end=\"2158\">As spring arrived, our work expanded into education, research, and advocacy.
