Please consider ending the school year by scheduling a Breakthrough T1D Kids Walk to Cure Diabetes to support students and families living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in your community.
When your school joins the growing list of Breakthrough T1D Kids Walk schools around the country, students will raise awareness of the rising incidence of diabetes while raising money for Breakthrough T1D to fund research that will create a world without T1D. Educators and families love this program because it’s easy to implement and has amazing benefits:
- Students gain basic knowledge about diabetes, healthy eating/exercise, and the importance of community service.
- Your school can receive 10 percent of the money raised to be used as you choose.
- Students can earn fun Difference Maker Awards, and your school can earn a recognition banner.
- Kids Walk gets kids moving! If you already have a walk scheduled at your school, Breakthrough T1D staff can recommend other fun, physical events for your students.
- Our turnkey program requires minimal time from staff and teachers.
It’s all about kids helping kids!
