Volunteers

We all want to personally thank you for all you do...

"I would just like to send warm hugs to all our volunteers."
Barbara J. Armstrong, Regional Manager

"As not only a staff member with JDRF but someone with type 1 diabetes, I appreciate more than anyone could know the dedication and love that we feel daily from our volunteers. We truly would not be successful if it wasn't for our volunteers. Thank you so very much!" Dori Gibbon, Fundraising & Development Coordinator

"To all of the volunteers to help me out on a regular basis with the Kids Walk Program, Cyclebetes and Gala, THANK YOU! You might think your contribution is small but it all adds up to ensuring that we have the best events possible!" Cheryl Vickers, Fundraising & Development Coordinator

"Wishing you a fabulous life just for being you." Cheryl Mayes, Fundraising & Development Coordinator

"The volunteers at JDRF aren't just donating their time and skills, they're giving a valuable contribution to change the lives of hundreds of people with T1D. I'm truly touched when people thank us for letting them help any way they can. Your commitment is close to your heart." Carrie MacDonald, Fundraising Assistant

"Volunteers don't just do the work ~ they make it work"  Leslie Hunter, Fundraising & Development Coordinator

JDRF through ADESA Public Auctions can take them all!!!!

When you call to make a donation to JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) we will require:

• owners name, address and phone number

ADESA will then contact you to arrange for pick up or delivery. Once sold the net proceeds of the sale will go to JDRF. You will receive a charitable tax receipt for your donation and will have helped to raise funds for important research in the mission to find a cure for T1D and its complications.

Office Supplies

We are proud to state that $0.80 of every $1.00 goes to research that will find the cure and treat the complications of type 1 diabetes.  That leaves $0.20 of every $1.00 to run our Chapter!  Donations of office supplies help us to keep the Chapter costs low.  Your generous donations are ALWAYS appreciated.

Edmonton Chapter office would appreciate donations of:  memory sticks (6), paper towel, and magnetic name tag holders (click here for an example of what we're looking for).  Last year we found out that we are responsible for sweeping and mopping the floor of the fitness centre after Walk.  With that in mind, we are looking for either donations of large mops, buckets, and large brooms or a cleaning company to donate their time to help us clean on Walk day.  If you know of anyone, please call the office
