When our daughter was diagnosed with Juvenile Diabetes at the tender age of 2 years old, our lives were upended.

The difficulties of living with this disease is staggering. JDRF is a leading foundation promoting research to find a cure.

So we join them by supporting them wholeheartedly by donating proceeds from our sales of wreaths.

Will you help us help them find a cure for Type I Diabetes?

JDRF is the leading global organization funding type 1 diabetes (T1D) research.

Our strength lies in our exclusive focus and singular influence on the worldwide effort to end T1D.

Vision: A world without type 1 diabetes

Mission: Improving lives today and tomorrow by accelerating life-changing breakthroughs to cure, prevent and treat T1D and its complications

JDRF has led the search for a cure for T1D since our founding in 1970.

In those days, people commonly called the disease “juvenile diabetes” because it was frequently diagnosed in, and strongly associated with, young children.

Our organization began as the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation.

Later, to emphasize exactly how we planned to end the disease, we added a word and became the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Today, we know an equal number of children and adults are diagnosed every day—approximately 110 people per day. Thanks to better therapies—which JDRF funding has been instrumental in developing and making available—people with T1D live longer and stay healthier while they await the cure. So a few years ago, we changed our name to JDRF.
