of the disease.
We can't do it alone ... We need your financial support!

a significant gift. Gift annuities allow you to earn generous income
while also receiving tax benefits. For more information on how you can
use planned giving to benefit yourself and Defeat Diabetes Foundation,
please e-mail Jerald Mandell (C.F.O.) at
jmandell@defeatdiabetes.org.

Hands-On Gift Giving
As well as financial gift-giving, there is another, more "hands-on"
way you can also help. Please read about the D.A.N. Project (Diabetes
Awareness Now). It is the story of how one family (and a mother who
lost her son, Dan, to diabetes) is working within their community to
help ensure their tragedy does not happen to others.
