November is National Diabetes Awareness Month and there are so many great ways that you can spread awareness about Breakthrough T1D and type 1 diabetes (T1D).

Below are several ways that you can continue to fundraise for Breakthrough T1D while also spreading awareness of T1D.  All monies raised through these options can be credited to your 2016 Walk Team.

Sneaker Sales:

Consider asking a business that you frequent, such as a restaurant or dry cleaner, if they would be willing to sell Breakthrough T1D sneakers for the month of November.  For a donation, the customer gets to write his or her name on a sneaker and display the sneaker at the restaurant.

Coin Canister:

Similar to sneaker sales, ask a local business if they would be willing to set out a Breakthrough T1D coin canister.

Give Back Nights:

Partner with a local restaurant to donate a portion of the proceeds from the day. It could be a certain menu item – daily specials, desserts or appetizers. Everyone loves to go out to eat especially when they are supporting you and your fundraising efforts!

Jeans and/or Jersey Day:

Ask your place of employment if you can wear jeans and/or sports jerseys to work one day for a $5 donation to Breakthrough T1D.

To order any Breakthrough T1D supplies or for questions, please contact Sherry Rank at SRank@BreakthroughT1D.org or 248-936-1287.
