2nd Annual JDRF Black Diamond Ride to Cure Diabetes!

CeCe is five years old. Like a lot of five year olds, her parents, her friends, her toys and her playtime are the constants in her life. Unfortunately, she has another constant: type 1 diabetes. CeCe was diagnosed when she was only 14 months old, and her family’s life was immediately thrown into complete upheaval by the permanent addition of an insidious disease.

At the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), our vision is clear and simple: to rid the world of diabetes. We are fiercely committed to funding research to find a cure for diabetes and its complications. Since JDRF was founded in 1970 by parents of children with type 1 diabetes, we have awarded more than $1 billion to diabetes research, including over $137 million in Fiscal Year 2007 alone. More than 80 percent of JDRF’s expenditures directly support research and research-related education. We would like your company to join us in our mission by becoming a sponsor. Not only do we take pride in being excellent stewards of the sponsorship money we receive, we also believe:

• Sponsorship should give you POSITIVE VISIBILITY in the community.

• Sponsorship should help IMPROVE THE COMMUNITY.

• Sponsorship should BRING YOU NEW CUSTOMERS and keep existing ones.


You have an opportunity to partner with JDRF and receive these sponsorship benefits. Sponsorship opportunities include team sponsorship and/or sponsorship of the The 2nd Annual JDRF Black Diamond Ride to Cure Diabetes. Our Black Diamond Ride to Cure is part of the Black Diamond Labor Days celebration again this year. This one-day, 14, 25, 65 and 100 mile ride event brings cyclists and families together enjoying all the beauty that Black Diamond, Ennumclaw and Maple Valley have to offer.

The JDRF NW Ride “Spokespeople” team and the JDRF Black Diamond Ride to Cure Diabetes ride help raise awareness about diabetes and the efforts JDRF is making to find a cure for diabetes and its complications and to encourage all people to use cycling as a way to promote a healthy lifestyle. Your business can be associated with these important goals when you partner with us and become a JDRF Ride team and Black Diamond Ride to Cure Diabetes Sponsor. *POSITIVE VISIBILITY*

The JDRFNW Ride team and JDRF Black Diamond Ride are part of the South Sound Outreach program that is making an immediate impact on the community. The outreach program offers 3 diabetes support groups and teen and family support events. *IMPROVE THE COMMUNITY*

The JDRFNW Ride team and the JDRF Black Diamond Ride to Cure Diabetes marketing materials, with your company name and logo on them, will help you attract and keep a new loyal customer base. *BRING YOU NEW CUSTOMERS*
