Missy Foy:Scholarships for kids with diabetes

Summary

We fund diabetes education conferences for families that are unable to attend because of financial reasons.

What is the issue, problem, or challenge?

We fund diabetes education conferences for families that would otherwise be unable to attend because of finacial reasons. These families are given an opportunity to hear from world reknowned physicians and clinicians on the latest advances and technology available in managing their child's diabetes. The long term affect that attending a conference has on a family is that their children will lead healthier lives. We believe that we are empowering through education.

How will this project solve this problem?

We award scholarships for families to attend diabetes education conferences. These families would otherwise be unable to attend because of financial reasons.

Potential Long Term Impact
