Support of the North Florida Walk to Cure Diabetes is an effective way to gain exposure among a loyal audience, promote teamwork and community involvement. And, there are numerous ways to get involved with the Walk to Cure Diabetes! It is never too early to start planning how you and your company can help support this great event. Here are a few ways that your company can participate:
Corporate Teams
Is your company looking for a wonderful team-building experience for your employees? Look no further–forming a Corporate Walk Team is the answer you have being searching for! JDRF will help you structure your team and offer fundraising ideas to help your team achieve success! And, not only will you have fun throughout the journey and satisfaction of being a part of finding a cure for juvenile diabetes, but being a Corporate Walk Team is also a great way to generate positive public support of your company.
Corporate Partnerships
Each year, many North Florida companies help JDRF make significant progress in the search to find a cure for diabetes by participating in the Walk to Cure Diabetes as a corporate partner. As a partner, your company receives benefits based on your commitment level and your support is shown to the North Florida community through marketing materials such as the official Walk brochure, t-shirt and Walk Day signage.
Sneaker Sales
Area grocers, pharmacies and other retail establishments, including Gate, Walgreens, Marshalls, Advance Auto Parts, Sam’s Club and Coastline Federal Credit Union, sell JDRF logo sneakers through their own internal Sneaker Sales Campaigns. Also, many companies conduct internal competitions among employees and branches to encourage the Walk and sneaker initiative, making many cashiers and tellers the stars of the sneaker sales campaign.
In-Kind Partnerships
In addition to corporate partnerships, companies may become involved as in-kind partners by providing goods and services for the Walk to Cure Diabetes. In-kind support helps JDRF to promote, prepare for and treat participants to an outstanding fun, family-friendly event. JDRF offers in-kind partners excellent benefits to recognize and promote the company's commitment to finding a cure.
