One Walk 2018 Results

As we put the rainy, wet walk of 2018 behind us and begin to plan for the 2019 Breakthrough T1D One Walk, we would like to extend a huge THANK YOU to everyone who participated in the 2018 Breakthrough T1D One Walk. Although the day was cold and rainy, the event was warm and sunny because so many people got out there, and raised money for research for a cure for T1D. Here are a few things we wanted you to know:

1. Our 2018 Walk Goal: $370,000. Currently we have raised $408,817 and money continues to come in.

2. We had 184 walk teams this year, and 1,702 walk participants.

3. Of those teams, 148 teams were family teams raising over $226,000 and 29 were corporate teams raising over $64,000

4. We had 65 V1P walkers! A V1P walker has raised over $1,000 individually.

4. 27 companies monetarily sponsored our event including 2 platinum sponsors, 5 bronze sponsors, 2 hydration station sponsors, 2 volunteer sponsors, 6 matching gift sponsors, and 10 resource row sponsors.

Thank you to Walgreens who collected over $30,000 in donations that went towards the walk, during their sneaker campaign in September.

And thank you to Kate’s Carb Counters who had a record year, bringing in over $31,000 of donations through their walk team.

We appreciate everything each of you did to make the 2018 Breakthrough T1D One Walk a success. We can’t wait to do it again in the fall of 2019.
