Support JDRF through Workplace Giving Campaigns

Western Wisconsin — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 17:58:52 +0000

A great way to support JDRF is through your annual Workplace Giving Campaigns. You may be able to designate a small amount of each paycheck, or arrange a single payroll deduction, to support diabetes research. Our chapter participates in the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) through Community Health Charities, State, Municipal, and Local Government Campaigns, United Way – Donor Choice Campaigns, and Corporate Campaigns.

To find us in your campaign brochures, please look for the “Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation – Western Wisconsin Chapter.” If JDRF is not listed, ask your supervisor if you can write us in or add JDRF to their list of charities.

Looking Back: 40 Years of Driving Science Toward a Cure
What We’ve Accomplished–and Where We Are Headed

This year marks the 40th anniversary of JDRF’s founding. While we fully acknowledge that a celebration is not in order—after all, we have not yet accomplished our mission of finding a cure for type 1 diabetes—we do believe it is entirely appropriate to acknowledge the research progress JDRF has made toward better treatments and a cure, and the people who have enabled us to come so far.

This issue of Legacy includes stories that examine where we’ve been over the past four decades and where we’re going. You’ll see a timeline of our greatest successes, and you’ll find information about our latest work. View the full issue

Spring issue of Legacy magazine is now available

Western Wisconsin — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 16:03:48 +0000

The spring issue of Legacy, JDRF’s planned giving magazine, is scheduled to mail to donors this week. You can get a copy now. It is a celebrity packed issue with stories on Luther Vandross and Mary Tyler Moore.

R&B Singer: Luther Vandross

In life, Luther Vandross gave millions of people joy with his songs. In death, he is helping JDRF accelerate research for a cure for the millions of people worldwide with type 1 diabetes.

JDRF recently received a generous gift from Vandross’ estate. The Grammy-winning R&B icon, who died in 2005 at the age of 54, had a family history of diabetes, and he also suffered from the devastating disease.
