Spread the Word about JDRF Advocacy starting July 7th!
WHAT’S Spread the Word?
JDRF’s new Spread the Word feature will be a fun, interactive way to invite your friends and family to become advocates for JDRF. During the month of July, and periodically throughout the rest of the year, JDRF Government Relations will host special Spread the Word contests where we will encourage existing JDRF advocates to recruit as many new advocates as possible for additional prizes.
WHY Participate?Your participation in Spread the Word this July will help us build JDRF’s advocate base and voice our support of the Special Diabetes Program currently making it’s way through Congress, ensuring that federal support for diabetes research remains strong. Not to mention additional prizes will be at stake during July including a trip to JDRF’s Government Day in Washington, D.C., in March 2009 and a flag flown over the U.S. Capitol in your name.
WHO Can Participate?JDRF’s Spread the Word competition will be open to all registered JDRF Advocates. All Advocates who become Spread the Word recruiters can develop a personal web page where they can manage their outreach efforts, track their progress, and compare their results to other top Advocate recruiters around the country.
WHEN?You can start ‘spreading the word’ about JDRF advocacy on Monday, July 7th. Make sure to check your email inbox on July 7th for more details on how to participate.
If you have any questions, shoot us an email at advocacy@jdrf.org

Volunteer Opportunities for "Thunder Run" and "Walk to Cure Diabetes"
Hello to all of our JDRF friends and families!Many of you call in and ask if there are any volunteer opportunities available at JDRF.
Currently we are looking for volunteers in these areas:
Thunder Run - Thunder Run is a two day event held at the Capital City Harley Davidson dealership in Madison on Friday, July 11th and Saturday, July 12th. We are currently looking for volunteers on both days to work a 2 hour shift at various times of the day in areas such as registration, wristbands, volunteer check in and silent auction.
Walk to Cure Diabetes - we are now forming a committee to help plan this year's event on September 28th. We are interested in your ideas and welcome your participation in areas such as logistics, food, entertainment, etc.
Office Help - this is the time of year where our students tend to go home for the summer, so we need volunteers in the office to help with mailings, databases and to key in those important ride and walk donations!
Thanks to all of you for your continued support. At JDRF we always say this is a staff supported organization and you, the volunteer, runs it. We hope you can help us this summer by emailing us at westernwi@jdrf.org or calling us at 608-833-2873.
Thank you!
All of us at JDRF Western Wisconsin Chapter
