Latest News:
A
student group at Bradley University hosted a Technology Fair on Tuesday, April
8, which featured a presentation by Dr. Brian Bostwick regarding this summer's
ADA Camp, and many reps were on hand to answer questions about their pumps and
meters.
This same student group hosted a "Carnival for the Cure" on Friday, April 18,
which featured a delicious catered meal from Childer's Eatery and lots of fun
for the kids, including face-painting, balloon animals, games and more! All
proceeds from the evening benefited the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
A big thank you to the Bradley Student group!
It is time to be thinking about diabetes camp for the summer! If your child
with diabetes is between the ages of 8-18, they will have an amazing, fun-filled
week at Camp Granada in Monticello, Illinois. For more information and to
