Why Should You Partner with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation?

An excellent marketing opportunity Partnering with JDRF will provide your company with thousands of marketing impressions. Reach top business leaders, corporations, and high net worth individuals. Research shows that consumers are loyal to businesses that support the community, especially businesses that support their cause!



JDRF is efficient
JDRF receives higher independent ratings than any diabetes organization and ranks in the top 5 of all health organizations. Over 85 cents of every dollar raised goes directly to support diabetes research.

Save on future company health care costs
Diabetes is the most costly chronic disease. In 2002, diabetes accounted for $132 billion in health care costs in the U.S. It is estimated that a company with 100 employees will spend over $45,000 per year on diabetes-related medical costs, loss of productivity, and premature death.

HELP FIND A CURE FOR DIABETES
We are moving research from the laboratory bench to the patient’s bedside, translating scientific advances into longer, healthier lives for those with diabetes. With your help, we are moving closer to our goal…a cure for diabetes and its complications.” - Mary Tyler Moore, JDRF International Chairman
