Calendar of Events

This is the place to look for the Diabetes Camp that runs every summer in Colorado Springs, CO and many more local diabetic events.

TEAM JDRF - This is where you can set up your own fundraiser and the proceeds go to JDRF to help find a cure to type 1 diabetes.  This would be a great thing for college bound high schoolers or type 1 community members who want to show their support for JDRF.

Diabetes Counts
We are here to support you the type 1 community in the western Colorado and eastern Utah area, especially kindergarten through 12th grade type 1 students.  We are interested in raising funds with Community Hospital, getting a pediatric endocrinologist here in Grand Junction at least a few times a year to help support local endocrinologists who are overwhelmed with patients and to work toward community awareness and education about type 1 diabetes.  If you would like to be involved please sign up at our web page and we will let you know when we hold events and need help.
