JDRF Greater Dallas Chapter
Donate Now!
Welcome to the online home of the
Greater Dallas Chapter of JDRF!
The mission of JDRF is to find a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support of research. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that strikes children and adults suddenly, and can be fatal. Until a cure is found, people with type 1 diabetes have to test their blood sugar and give themselves insulin injections multiple times or use a pump - each day, every day of their lives.
Since its founding in 1970 by parents of children with type 1 diabetes, JDRF has awarded more than $1.3 billion to diabetes research, including more than $156 million in FY2008. In FY2008, the Foundation funded more than 1,000 centers, grants in laboratories, hospitals, and industry, and fellowships in 22 countries.
Our JDRF Chapter Promise
We believe in the power of service. We honor invention and creative thinking. We thoughtfully listen and communicate. We are dedicated to understanding and exceeding our donor’s expectations. We actively attend to those with type 1 diabetes. We work side by side with our Volunteers in partnership. We strive to exceed our fundraising goals for a cure.
