JDRF Metro Saint Louis / Greater MO Chapter

One of the joys of the holiday season is taking the time to support your favorite charities. JDRF should be at the top of your list — it is our greatest source of hope for a CURE for diabetes! If you were one of the 25% of our families that had a Family Walk Team and made a donation this fall to the Walk, thank you so much! Your efforts will help speed up the research for a cure. But maybe this year, time got away from you and you never got around to sending out the walk letter. Maybe this year, your husband with diabetes didn’t want to draw attention to himself. Maybe this year, your baby with diabetes has finished college and you don’t feel you can write a walk letter for her. We still need your help. Fund A Cure is JDRF’s Annual Giving. We need 100% of our families to make a donation to JDRF every year, and the simplest way is through Fund A Cure. Take a minute now, write a check to JDRF, and send it in to our office (JDRF, 50 Crestwood Executive Center, Suite 401, St. Louis, MO 63126). Or call Patrick Dalessandro at 314-729-1846. He is waiting by the phone to take your credit card donation. Every little bit helps, and every bigger bit helps even more. We look forward to hearing from you!
