Becoming a JDRF Corporate Partner in the Piedmont Triad

Why should your company partner with JDRF in the Triad?

Nearly three million people across the US have type 1 diabetes. That’s more than twice the population of the 12-county Piedmont Triad region. Moreover, every year more than 15,000 children are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes—that’s 40 kids and teens every single day.

Your company can help JDRF change those statistics.

JDRF provides a range of partnership opportunities for companies wishing to make their communities healthier by helping us find a cure for diabetes and its complications. When you join forces with JDRF, you’ll be allying your company with one of the nation’s preeminent healthcare non-profits.
