Cyclebetes High School Spin-a-Thon
The Cyclebetes High School Spin-a-Thon is an opportunity for high school students to get active in their communities and develop leadership capabilities by organizing and participating in community Spin-a-Thons. The emphasis is on fitness and leadership – community and relationship building. Students experience a real world working environment and learn first hand how to create an extraordinary event in their school and community.Most importantly they discover the immense satisfaction that comes from making a difference in the lives of others and effecting positive change. Today’s students are tomorrow leaders and as such have the power to shape the future of an entire generation.

Honor Someone You Love or Remember Someone You Miss by Supporting the Vital Research Needed to Find a Cure for Diabetes and its Complications
The Tribute Program offers friends of JDRF a thoughtful, caring way to remember a loved one or celebrate a special occasion while contributing to our vital mission to find a cure for diabetes.
There are so many reasons to give:
• Celebrate a birthday or other milestone
• Make a holiday really special
• Honor an achievement
• Send “get well” wishes
• Recognize a wedding anniversary
• Show a friend or family member who has lost a loved one how much you care
You can also use this program to raise money by asking others to give to JDRF in lieu of gifts for birthdays, graduations, weddings, anniversaries, or any other celebration in your life. However you do it, it all supports diabetes research.
It’s easy to participate!
• Simply call the office (to make a credit card gift) or mail your donation to the address below
• Clearly state or write the name of the person in whose honour or memory you are making the gift
• Indicate who should receive notification of your gift (for example, surviving family members)
Once we process your information we will send you an acknowledgement and send a card notifying your honoree, or next of kin, that you have made a tribute gift (we do not disclose the amount of the gift). Gifts are processed and acknowledged within five business days of receipt.
Volunteers Needed
Atlantic Region is currently seeking motivated individuals with an interest in helping to assist us in reaching our goals. Volunteering with JDRF offers valuable benefits to children living with Type 1, their parents, families and friends.
