Optimists For Curing Type 1 DiabetesPlease join us in our support of the American Diabetes Association (ADA) Camp Colorado and JDRF. See the information below for more information on these two great charities we are supporting. Our online auction will go live on Friday, May 13th at 5:00PM and will end at exactly 9:00PM on Sunday, May 22nd.
Please visit www.32auctions.com/diabetes2016 to bid on many great packages!
The ADA sponsors Camp Colorado each year to serve children between the ages of 9-17 who have type 1 diabetes (T1D). The week long camp is held each summer near Woodland Park, CO. The goal of the camp is to foster independence, self confidence, and awareness of a healthy lifestyle through education, nutrition, exercise, emotional well being and glucose control in children living with T1. A full medical staff is on site 24/7 to monitor and mentor the children. We are raising funds to provide “camperships” for children with limited financial means.
JDRF is the largest nongovernment funder of T1D research. They are uniquely positioned to advance ground breaking therapies through the research pipeline to better treat and eventually prevent and cure T1D.
Thank you in advance for your support!
Here are just a few of the packages we will have to bid on:
- Weekend in Vail
- Weekend at Lake Granby
- Ultimate Broncos Fan package
- Rockies game tickets and memorabilia
