JDRF One Walk 2014

JDRF One Walk 2014

Ok everyone!! Are you ready?!

The JDRF walk is quickly approaching and we have a lot to get excited about!! For those of you who might not know, McKinley is a Presenting Sponsor for the JDRF Ann Arbor ONE Walk this year. We have many, many reasons why we support JDRF – however, our main goal is to raise money and FUND a CURE! Your support allows us to contribute in a big way to fund life-changing T1D research—research that is leading to better treatments, prevention, and one day, a world where TYPE One is TYPE NONE.

This year we are expanding our fundraising efforts companywide with a total of 96 teams – employees and residents are all welcome! The 5k walk will take place on September 28th, 2014 at Hudson Mills Park in Dexter.

Our goal as Team McKinley this year is to raise $15,000!!  Of that goal, I know we as the corporate team can raise $3000, so let’s get started!!
