Our Programs

Simply stated, our purpose is to:

• Reach Out, Give Hope and Improve Lives.
• Be Ambassadors and messengers. Break the cycle of confusion by sharing stories about the courage of these children and educate society about Type 1 diabetes.
• We want to develop and design programs which inspire children and families to realize that they can create the life of their dreams, in spite of Type 1 diabetes.

Current initiatives:

1. Crate, Full of Courage: Being diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes is devastating and can be overwhelming. For these children (and their families), being courageous involves being fully aware and accepting of the threat of immediate medical emergencies and their long term health concerns. Empowering families, by encouraging education, awareness and advocacy is essential. Courageous behavior consists of taking responsibility and being pro-active. Benefits of being courageous include personal integrity and thriving in the midst of normality. Newly diagnosed children and youth, receive a crate (age appropriate), filled with educational and resource materials, comfort and support items designed to encourage children and families.
2. Team Courage: Children and young people with Type 1 diabetes are invited to join "Team Courage". We consider those with Type 1 diabetes as the Most Valuable players (MVP's). Our philosophy is to encourage our MVP's to become "champions" and get the most out of their opportunity of life. Being a champion is about doing your very best to achieve your goals, despite the difficulty and challenges that type 1 diabetes brings.
3. Scholarship Program: To date, we sadly have been unable to secure donors for this program. It is our intent to begin a Scholarship Program when funds become available.

As the foundation grows, so does our dedication to the development of new programs that support children and young people with Type 1 diabetes.
