Since 1963, Diabetes Dayton has been providing programs and services to children and adults for the prevention and management of diabetes. As a small, independent non-profit agency, they rely on grants, donations, and fundraisers to support their programs. They provide supplies for the uninsured, free diabetes education classes, community screenings, an annual Diabetes Expo and camps for kids with diabetes.
Big Brews & Blues is their signature fundraiser to help generate revenue so that they can continue providing these vital programs and services. It ensures that any child living with diabetes can attend camp, regardless of their ability to pay. Camp for these kids means making friends with other children living with diabetes, becoming more independent, excellent medical supervision 24/7, and enjoying all the fun camp can offer.
