Supporting families living with Type 1 diabetes.

Donations to the pediatric diabetes fund through Essentia Health Foundation help provide essential supplies, medical equipment, and assistance with travel, lodging, and meals when families need it most.

AWARENESS STARTS WITH UNDERSTANDING.
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition in which the body produces little or no insulin. People living with Type 1 must manage their blood sugar every day through insulin, monitoring, food, and activity.
While there is currently no cure, awareness and community support can make a meaningful difference for children and families.
Every dollar donated to the pediatric diabetes fund stays in our community. One hundred percent of donations support the fund's purpose and are not used for salaries or administrative costs.
ONE COMMUNITY.
THREE WAYS TO HELP.
Give supplies. Buy from participating dealerships. Donate directly through Essentia Health Foundation.
