Ask them to sponsor yours and show their support for your family team with a $500 Pathway Partnership. Leverage your relationships with your corporate partners, vendors and service providers to help raise money for your team. Don’t forget about your personal service providers as well; doctors, dentists, financial planners, dry cleaners, anyone you do business with.  Just have them send their $500 check made payable to the JDRF in honor of your family team, along with their contact information, and we will take care of the rest. You will receive credit towards your team goal and on walk day your corporate supporters will receive the recognition they deserve for backing your team with special signage along the walk route designating them as your Pathway Partner. If you have any questions about Pathway Partnerships please contact Sue Batterson @ sbatterson@jdrf.org or call Sue at 314-748-7058.

JDRF Metro St. Louis/Greater MO. has a new referral program to help you earn credit for your Family Team.  Help us recruit new companies to participate in the Walk to Cure Diabetes as Corporate Teams.  During the Company Team’s first year, your team will earn credit towards awards and prizes for every dollar they raise.  So, if you raise $5,000 and refer a Corporate Team who raises $7,000, you just became a $12,000 team!!  This “Finder’s Fee” credit is only good for the first year of the Company Team’s participation, but you can refer new teams each and every year! Remember the “six degrees of separation” theory? You may not have a direct connection to a company, but someone you know might have a connection.  Use your business network, family and friends’ network, vendor network, etc…  Please email all referrals to Sue Batterson @ sbatterson@jdrf.org or call Sue at 314-748-7058

Thank You!
