Strike Out Diabetes
Bowlers Who Care
Strike Out Diabetes is an awareness and fund raising initiative partnering with the charitable arm of bowling, The Bowling Foundation.November is National Diabetes Awareness Month and is the perfect time to Strike Out Diabetes! Participate in Pennies for Pins, Sell/Buy Paper Pins, or a play in a Bowl-a-thon.
November is National Diabetes Awareness Month!
Join professional bowlers, Chris and Lynda Barnes, in making a difference through Strike Out Diabetes!
Chris and Lynda have twin boys, Troy and Ryan. In 2008, Troy was suddenly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Troy (far left) must take multiple insulin injections daily and test his blood sugar at least six times a day. Insulin keeps Troy alive, but is not a cure.

Why Entrust Funds to JDRF?
- JDRF puts dollars to work. 86 cents of every dollar goes directly to diabetes research to find a cure.
- JDRF is the largest charitable funder of type 1 diabetes research in the world.
- Charity Navigator awarded JDRF its highest rating, 4-stars, for the second consecutive year, and praised the foundation for “outperform(ing) the majority of nonprofits in America with respect to fiscal responsibility. This ‘exceptional’ designation… differentiates JDRF from its peers and demonstrates to the public it is worthy of their trust.”
What is Diabetes? Every 30 seconds someone in the U.S. is diagnosed with diabetes.
Diabetes is a chronic, debilitating disease affecting every organ system.
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which a person’s pancreas stops producing
insulin, a hormone that enables people to get energy from food. Type 1 diabetes lasts a
lifetime and requires multiple injections of insulin daily to survive. It “STRIKES” children
suddenly but can happen at any age.
Taking insulin does not cure any type of diabetes nor prevent the possibility
of complications like: kidney failure, blindness, nerve damage, amputation,
heart attack or stroke.
