Diabetic Youth Foundation Day: April 29, 2012

Register Now and Raise $500 BEFORE March 23rd to receive $50 to use in the camp store OR a $25 REI giftcard!

So What is DYF Day?

Many have referred to it as the “Diabetic Youth Foundation Day,” some have called it the “Do-it Yourself Fundraiser Day,” and others the “Design Your Fundraiser Day.” Whatever you choose to call it, it’s about giving one day a year to support the DYF’s life changing programs and services for children, teens and their families affected by diabetes!

Over 500 participants are expected to participate from all over the San Francisco Bay, Sacramento and surrounding areas for this annual event. The fun-filled day includes an opening event program with awards and acknowledgements, family-fun activities, food, live entertainment and a community fair.

Be a part of our community’s efforts by creating a team.  These are NOT walk teams, these are DYF Day teams.  You can choose to create your own event (go you!), join the event of another family (fun and a bit easier!), or simply make a straightforward online fundraising page (you’ve got this one!).

Join us in honoring children living with the daily challenge of diabetes while also celebrating the love and support of the community who works to support our kids and families, at DYF Day 2012 at 10AM at Heather Farm Park on Sunday, April 29, 2012 in Walnut Creek.

All monies raised from DYF Day 2012 will directly benefit our summer camps and year-round programs devoted to helping families, teens and children affected by diabetes.
