Why Hold a JDRF Kids Walk?

The Kids Walk to Cure Diabetes is an educational school fundraising program that raises money to find a cure for type 1 diabetes. While raising money for JDRF, students learn about diabetes and the importance of making healthy choices. The money raised through this program helps fund type 1 diabetes research and provides additional dollars for your school to use on equipment, field trips, books or whatever your school needs!

Benefits for your school:

  • Your school receives 10% of the money raised.
  • Students can earn fun prizes based on the amount of money they collect.
