 <\/p>\n

When it comes to raising money for a cause close to your heart, there\u2019s no one-size-fits-all approach. Breakthrough T1D Your Way is all about empowering people to tap into their passions, creativity, and community connections to raise funds for Breakthrough T1D. A shining example of this is Dale Radman\u2019s incredible event, Combine for a Cure\u2014a unique blend of farming, friends, and philanthropy.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s dive into Dale’s journey and how this event has grown into something truly special.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Inspiration Behind Combine for a Cure<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dale\u2019s reason for creating Combine for a Cure began with a moment that changed his life.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen my niece Katie was just 4 years old, her first day of preschool was interrupted by her first serious health episode. She had to be hospitalized that very same day. Not long after, I witnessed my brother giving her insulin shots\u2014and both of them were in tears. That moment stuck with me. I realized that countless families experience the same heartache every day. I wanted to do something about it.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s these personal stories that often spark the most meaningful fundraisers\u2014events fueled by emotion, connection, and a desire to make a difference.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

How One Man\u2019s Love for Farming Became a Fundraising Adventure<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As a lifelong farmer, Dale wanted to incorporate his passion into his fundraising efforts.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been around farming my whole life. As a kid, I\u2019d push toy tractors and combines across the carpet pretending I was doing what my dad did every day. Now that I\u2019m grown, I\u2019ve just upgraded the size of my toys,\u201d Dale jokes.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

About twelve years ago, Dale bought a used combine at a local auction for $375, planted corn on his land, and harvested it all on his own. When he sold the crop, he donated the proceeds to Breakthrough T1D, then JDRF. This sparked the idea for Combine for a Cure\u2014a casual gathering of friends where they combined corn, drank beer, and grilled food. Over time, the event grew into a lively celebration featuring food, live music, and even a silent auction.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What Makes Combine for a Cure Unique<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dale describes his event as a \u201cback-road farming adventure. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe harvest corn, bid on donated auction items from local businesses and friends, and enjoy brats, hot dogs, beans, chips, and cookies. All while listening to live music and meeting new people. Everyone is there with the same goal\u2014raising awareness and money for a great cause.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This sense of community is what makes the event so special. What started with around 40 attendees has grown to nearly 200 people today. \u201cI dream of the day we run out of food and beer, and I have to scramble. That\u2019s when I\u2019ll know it was a great year!\u201d Dale laughs.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Challenges and Surprises Along the Way<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Running an event isn\u2019t without its challenges. \u201cThe hardest part is the lead-up to the event. I always worry about whether I\u2019ll get everything ready in time\u2014organizing the auction, setting up the space, making sure we have enough food and beer. Some years it feels like we won\u2019t make it, but somehow, it always comes together.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But Dale has also been pleasantly surprised by how much people are willing to help. \u201cFriends, family, and even people I don\u2019t know well always ask, \u2018What can I do to help?\u2019 Sometimes I have something for them to do, and sometimes it\u2019s just enough knowing they care.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One particularly memorable moment? \u201cA few years ago, my hairstylist showed up and decided we were shaving heads to raise money. In just 30 minutes, she raised $1,400! I went bald that day\u2014and so did a friend of mine. The next year, she raised even more, and I ended up with a mohawk,\u201d Dale recalls with a grin.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Impact: Raising Funds One Crop at a Time<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While Dale admits he hasn\u2019t kept exact records, he estimates that Combine for a Cure has raised around $45,000 over the past eight years. The introduction of the silent auction took the event\u2019s fundraising to new heights, helping them raise up to $12,000 annually.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cHosting the event is part of my donation, too. I don\u2019t take any of my expenses out of what we raise\u2014it just doesn\u2019t feel right. That\u2019s my way of giving back,\u201d Dale explains.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Advice for Aspiring DIY Fundraisers<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When asked what advice he\u2019d give to others interested in hosting their own event, Dale offers these tips:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ask for Help: “Friends, family, and even people at the organization you\u2019re raising money for can provide great support and ideas.”<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Use Silent Auctions: “They\u2019re a lot of work, but they can really pay off. The more items you collect, the more successful your auction will be.”<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Advertise Like Crazy: “Create fliers, make a Facebook event, and share it everywhere you can. The more people hear about it, the better your turnout will be.”<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Bringing Your Own Event to Life<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dale\u2019s Combine for a Cure is a perfect example of how you can create a meaningful and fun DIY fundraising event that reflects your passions. Whether you love farming, biking, baking, or music\u2014there\u2019s no wrong way to raise money for Breakthrough T1D. What matters is finding something you love and using it to make a difference.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
