We’re excited to introduce you to a new program we are starting called the “Family Basket Program”. The family basket fundraiser is a wonderful way for you to participate in the Gala and help raise money for this much needed research.  Nothing is more special than seeing what family and friends bring forth in honor of their loved ones living with diabetes.  In addition to Family Baskets, we are also accepting other items that will help ensure our auction will be a success! Some of the items we are looking for are sports memorabilia or tickets, gift certificates, “experiences” or vacations.  We invite you to contribute by donating an auction item.

To continue to make this a success, we need you!  If you would like to donate a family basket, or auction item please:

1. Choose a theme for your basket.  This is your chance to be creative and have fun!  The options are limitless, so think about items and activities your family enjoys.  Feel free to call me at the number below if you would like to talk about basket ideas.
2. The estimated value of each basket should be $50 or greater.
3. A picture of your child to accompany the basket is a wonderful way to add a personal touch to the basket!
4. Consider asking family members and friends to donate a basket on your child’s behalf.

All finished baskets need to be in the JDRF office by March 1, 2011. If transportation is a problem, please contact us at 317.308.4929. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at 317.308.4929 or kandrysiak@jdrf.org. Thank you so much for your enthusiasm and generosity.
