Fundraiser for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation

Post by BobTidmore »

We are having a fundraiser at our house Friday July 20th for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Our address is 26025 Main St. (One block east of the Post Office).

Our 3-year old grandson Joe Schramm has Type 1 diabetes and receives 4-7 shots every day. His condition will never improve and currently there is no cure.

To raise money for a cure, our son-in-law Jeff is training to ride 104 miles in Death Valley in October. Please come meet Joe and join us in our fundraising efforts to support Jeffâ??s Ride for the Cure

Usingers Brats (worldâ??s best) or hot dogs with all
the â??fixinâ??sâ?￾, chips and Lemonade (sugar-free of course)

Brats $5.00
Hot Dogs $3.00 (the posters say $4.00 but thatâ??s a mistake)

All the proceeds go the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
