Another opportunity to be involved with the American Diabetes Association is through our School Walk for Diabetes Program. This is an educational school fundraising program that promotes healthy living, school spirit and community involvement. While raising money for our organization, students learn the differences between type 1 and type 2 diabetes and the importance of making healthy choices.
