Breakthrough T1D Walk is a nationwide movement dedicated to raising awareness of type 1 diabetes (T1D) and funding research to improve life with T1D while driving toward cures. As the largest event of its kind, it empowers individuals and teams to take action for the T1D community.
Our corporate teams are instrumental in our mission to make T1D a thing of the past. Campi Dental, located in Wall Township, NJ, is staying true to its own mission of community support by participating in their local Breakthrough T1D Walk for the first time this year.
Campi Cares
Giving back is part of Campi Dental’s DNA, rooted in a legacy that began with their founder, Dr. John Campi. His passion for service set the standard that continues to inspire the team today. “As a family-owned practice now in its fourth generation, we’ve always believed that caring for people extends outside the walls of our office,” said Cheryl Campi, VP of Operations. “Supporting causes that improve lives naturally aligns with the values Dr. John instilled in us.”
Campi Cares is the philanthropic arm of Campi Dental. “It’s our way of giving back to the communities that have supported our practice for over 90 years,” Cheryl said. “For us, dentistry goes beyond teeth; it’s about creating a healthier, stronger community.”
A personal cause
Campi Dental’s support of Breakthrough T1D is also personal. The family recently welcomed a new member, Aria, who married Jack Campi this past May. Aria was diagnosed with T1D when she was 13 years old and has lived with the daily challenges of it for nearly a decade. “Her courage, positivity, and determination to live her life unlimited by her condition truly inspired us,” Cheryl said. “Sponsoring Aria in the Breakthrough T1D Walk was a natural decision; we wanted to rally around her, raise awareness, and help advance research towards a cure.”
Feedback from patients has been overwhelmingly positive. Many have expressed appreciation for Campi Dental’s openness in sharing Aria’s story and connecting the practice to such a meaningful cause. “Several have told us that they or their loved ones are affected by diabetes, and they feel proud to see their dental office taking an active role in raising awareness,” Cheryl said. “It has sparked conversations, encouragement, and a sense of togetherness beyond dental care.”
