Dear(Name):

On (Walk Date), approximately (# of walkers) (name of company) employees and family members will be walking together as a team in Walk to Cure Diabetes benefitting the Juvenile iabetes Research Foundation.

I will be walking as a member of the (Company name) team, and my personal fund raising goal is $__. I would appreciate any support that you could give me for this very worthwhile cause.

Since there are 17 million Americans affected by diabetes, I believe that my work with JDRF is important and well worth the effort. I am particularly proud of the fact that JDRF has provided more funding for diabetes research (more than $600 million since 1970) than any other non-governmental agency in the world.

I hope that you will consider sponsoring my participation in this event; any amount will help the work of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Checks should be made payable to JDRF or the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and are tax deductible.

Thank you for considering this request for your support. If you have any questions about the Walk to Cure Diabetes, or the work of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, please do not hesitate to call me.

Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International
