From July 1 – July 31, 2013, customers will have the opportunity to donate to Breakthrough T1D at checkout at any of the 8,000 Walgreens locations across the United States and Puerto Rico! Be sure to visit your local Walgreens store in the Bay Area to donate $1, $2, $5, or $10 at checkout to support type 1 diabetes (T1D) research. The dollars raised through this campaign will help Breakthrough T1D create a world without T1D! Thank you to Walgreens for your continued generosity!
The Walgreens partnership with Breakthrough T1D spans over 20 consecutive years and has raised more than $20 million dollars in support of diabetes research. Walgreens generates over $1 million annually for Breakthrough T1D through customer donations in more than 8,000 outlets in the United States and Puerto Rico. Breakthrough T1D is part of the Walgreens Way to Well Commitment™, a Walgreens (NYSE, NASDAQ: WAG) initiative to improve the everyday health of Americans nationwide. Through the Way to Well Commitment, Walgreens will bring $100 million in preventive health care resources, health testing services and charitable programs to its stores and thousands of communities in all 50 states over a four year period. In 2012, Walgreens raised more than $1.6 million for Breakthrough T1D and this year Walgreens will again conduct fundraising efforts to benefit Breakthrough T1D. The Walgreens Pin Pad Donation campaign is part of this effort.
