An Update On Our Fundraising Efforts!

As you know... our family has been busy working on some fundraising efforts to help raise money for the Blair County Diabetes Walk.

You may remember, last month we held a Scentsy Online Fundraiser with my friend, Chris Bowen. I wanted to give you an update on how the fundraiser went!

We were able to raise $32.66 with this fundraiser! How awesome!! Thank you Chris for being so helpful and helping us support this cause!

On top of the Scentsy Online Fundraiser, we also collected $24.43 indirect donations. In total, so far we have raised $57.09 for the Walk, benefiting the Diabetes Research Institute!

To further our efforts between now and June 4th, today I walked around my little town and distributed Diabetes Research Institute Donation Cans at some local businesses.

A big thank you to the following businesses who are helping us:
  • James' Drug in Portage, PA
  • Fox's Pizza in Cresson, PA
  • Mainline Pharmacy in Cresson, PA
  • Shop N Save in Cresson, PA
  • Route 53 Diner in Cresson, PA
  • Cresson Springs Family Restaurant in Cresson, PA
Thank you all for supporting our cause and helping us to raise awareness and money for the Blair County Diabetes Walk!

I am also working on some other fundraising ideas in the meantime to further help raise money and awareness for diabetes and the Blair County Diabetes Walk, so be sure to check back here often for an update on what we have going on!

Thanks to everyone who has helped make the Scentsy Online Fundraiser a huge success, and everyone continuing to help us in this Fight Against Diabetes! The diabetes community, technology, and understanding of this disease wouldn't be where it is today without your help! I, my son, and my family, thank you all from the bottom of our hearts!
