We’re Getting Results - in Numbers and Beyond
Overall, the Mid-Ohio Chapter of JDRF raised over $1 million last year, and has committed to a five year goal of $7 million in support of JDRF’s international goal of $1 billion over 5 years. As a part of our goal, we need to raise over $319,000 through this year’s Promise Ball.
The JDRF Diabetes Research portfolio of funded science is among the largest in the world focused on cures and treatments for diabetes and its complications. JDRF directed nearly $101 million to research in FY2009, bringing its total research funding to more than $1.4 billion since its founding in 1970.
In a typical year, more than 85% of JDRF’s expenditures directly support research and research-related education. JDRF is the world’s leading nonprofit, nongovernmental funder of diabetes research.
