Celebrating 75 Years of Progress!
For our 75th Anniversary, the American Diabetes Association is honoring decades of progress in diabetes treatment, management and quality of life, and our role in these advancements.
For nearly 25 years, we have held Step Out: Walk to Stop Diabetes and Tour de Cure in communities across the country. Together these signature events have raised more than $30 million in 2014 to support our mission; to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes.
Just as importantly, our walks and riders promote physical activity and celebrate people who live with diabetes - our Red Striders and Red Riders, who received VIP treatment at the events.
Throughout 2015, the Association will create greater awareness of the seriousness of diabetes by acknowledging past discovery and improvement, while focusing on work that still needs to be accomplished.
Discover, Innovation, and Progress!
The Association was founded by 26 physicians when it got underway 75 years ago. It remained an organization for health care professionals during its first 30 years. In 1970, the Association welcomed general members. And in the years since, it has grown to include a network of more than 1 million volunteers. Yet diabetes has proven a stubborn foe. To learn more and travel through some of the major milestones, click through this timeline of accomplishments celebrating discovery, innovation and progress.
