"Juvenile Diabetes is one of the fastest growing pediatric diseases afflicting our current generation," said Gregg Steinberg, President of IPA and Co-Chair of the Chip fore Charity Committee. "Our ability to assist JDRF in finding a cure has profound implications and we look to this year’s golf outing to be the premier fund raising event for JDRF in the Chicagoland area."
Founded by parents of children with juvenile diabetes, JDRF has always focused on a single goal- accelerating research progress to cure diabetes and its complications. The research management process is unique and organized as a diabetes cure enterprise. JDRF takes informed risks, continuously monitors the global diabetes research landscape and makes investments strategically to ensure that resources are effectively directed to research with the greatest impact leading to a cure as soon as possible.
Their dedication has led to spending more money for diabetes research than any other charitable organization—more than $800 million since its founding in 1970, including more than $85 million in FY 2004 alone. More than 80 percent of JDRF’s expenditures directly support research and research-related education. In FY 2004, JDRF funded 500 centers, grants and fellowships in 19 countries. In addition, the advocacy has spurred the government to increase its investment in type 1 diabetes research to unprecedented levels.
JDRF plays a unique role in setting the global direction of research resources to ensure that they are used as effectively as possible to bring about a world without juvenile diabetes and its complications.
