\n\"Giving<\/a>First, there was the post-Thanksgiving sales event Black Friday,<\/em> and then the online version, Cyber Monday<\/em>. \u00a0Now, charitable groups have started a new holiday tradition \u2014 it’s called\u00a0#GivingTuesday<\/span><\/strong><\/em>, and it starts \u00a0this \u00a0TUESDAY<\/strong><\/span>!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We love the idea of #GivingTuesday<\/span>, because it is like giving season\u2019s \u201copening day\u201d. It\u2019s a time in which people can come together as a group to make a significant impact on our community.\u00a0 It\u2019s not just one person opening their check book, but rather a group of people, working as one, to write a new future for our children and all those trying to prevent type 2 diabetes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

THIS TUESDAY, GIVE HOPE!<\/h3>\n

This #GivingTuesda<\/span>y, please donate and help us bring HOPE<\/span> to those who need it most!<\/p>\n

Right now, diabetes threatens 1 in 3 families in our communities. \u00a0In many families, diabetes has been passed \u00a0down from generation to generation. Those that have lost their own grandparents, aunt and uncles, and parents to diabetes, now find that they (themselves) and their children are at-risk. \u00a0Without access to quality health care and nutrition counseling, diabetes will continue to threaten these families for years to come.<\/p>\n

With your help, we can GIVE<\/span> these families an alternative future. We can GIVE<\/span> these families what they need to create a healthy home so that prevention is passed to the next generation<\/em><\/strong>. When you GIVE<\/span> a family an opportunity to prevent diabetes, you\u00a0GIVE<\/span> them HOPE<\/span>!<\/p>\n

YOUR DONATION WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When you donate, your dollars will directly impact the lives of those in need. In fact, 100% of donations made this #<\/span>GivingTuesday<\/span><\/span>, and throughout the giving season (Thanksgiving- Christmas), \u00a0will be used to put Prevention on the Move. \u00a0<\/em>Help us\u00a0<\/em>bring diabetes prevention programs to low-income communities \u00a0that do not have the resources to provide 1-on-1 nutrition counseling, group classes, or support groups to those struggling to prevent diabetes from affecting their family.<\/p>\n

Whether you donate $5<\/span>, $10<\/span>, $25<\/span>, \u00a0or $35, your dollars will make a difference!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

PEOPLE MAKING PREVENTION POSSIBLE<\/h3>\n

For the last 5 years, people have been making prevention possible.<\/strong><\/em> We are funded entirely by donations from health-minded people, \u00a0like you<\/em>. \u00a0With those donations, last year alone, we were able to\u00a0provide nutrition information to\u00a0over 200,000 people<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We also \u00a0have an\u00a0over\u00a080% success rate<\/strong>\u00a0helping those in our Lifestyle Modification Program delay or prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes.\u00a0 Each year diabetes is kept at bay it results in an estimated\u00a0savings in healthcare costs of $11,744 per person.<\/strong><\/p>\n
