National Diabetes Month for Camp Conrad Chinnock

About this campaign

November is National Diabetes Month. Every year, 64,000 people in the US are diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes (T1D). Nothing will prevent the onset of T1D, but you can learn to manage it.

Learning to manage T1D takes time and resources, and diabetes camps are amazing places for the recently-diagnosed -- especially children and teens-- to learn how to do it, but the reality is that cost is often a prohibitive factor for many families.

By supporting today, you'll receive a T-shirt with original artwork by my late father, Jeff Boozer. He lived with Type 1 diabetes, and learned to manage it at Camp Conrad Chinnock, a non profit organization located in the San Bernardino Mountains of California that aims to teach children with T1D how to manage medication, nutrition, and exercise. All proceeds from T-shirt sales will be donated to Camp Conrad Chinnock in his memory, and help more families like mine manage life with diabetes.

My dad was an artist through to his very core, and I am excited that his work will continue to inspire others to be as giving, compassionate, and kind as he was.
