One of Breakthrough T1D’s largest corporate partners, Marshalls, is helping to fund research for type 1 diabetes (T1D) by taking a step in the right direction with their National Breakthrough T1D Sneaker Sales campaign!

From September 1 through October 5, Marshalls will once again sell “green” sneaker scans in their stores to raise money and create excitement for the Walk to Cure Diabetes. Sneaker Sales provide tremendous support in funding research to cure, better treat and T1D. Their participation in the Sneaker Sales program helps improve the lives of millions of people affected by T1D.  Be sure to say “Thank you” to the Marshalls employees during your visit for their continued generosity.

The Marshalls partnership with Breakthrough T1D began in 1994 and has raised millions of dollars in support of diabetes research. Marshalls generates more than $2 million annually for Breakthrough T1D through the Sneaker Sales campaign in more than 900 stores in the United States and Puerto Rico. In 2012, Marshalls raised over $2.2 million for Breakthrough T1D. Thank you Marshalls!
