School Walk for Diabetes is an educational school fundraising program that promotes healthy living, school spirit and community involvement.
School Walk for Diabetes educates students, families, staff about Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. Funds raised support the mission of the American Diabetes Association to prevent and cure diabetes and improve the lives of all people living with diabetes.
From grandparents to grandchildren, we are all connected by the impact diabetes has on our lives. Team Diabetes is your resource for do-it-yourself (DIY) fundraising to stay Connected For Life and support the mission of the American Diabetes Association. Run a marathon. Start a school walk. Have a birthday party. Whatever your pancreas desires, you can turn your passion into meaningful action in the fight against diabetes. You will get a personalized web page with powerful fundraising tools to help you spread the word to friends, family members, and others you want to have support your event.
For questions about the new Team Diabetes platform or DIY fundraising, please email teamdiabetes@diabetes.org.
Start your School Walk with a kick-off event where students learn about diabetes and get excited about participating in your School Walk!
During a 2-3 week period, students ask family and friends to support them in their School Walk. The more your school fundraises, the more your school can earn in a gift certificate to purchase PE equipment from our friends at Gopher!
The day is here! School Walks can occur during PE class, or as an entire school assembly. Honor those who are living with diabetes and have fun!
