Our Beneficiaries
Join us in supporting these causes and making a positive impact in our community.
Creating a World Without Type 1 Diabetes
The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) is a primary beneficiary of Vaughn’s Valley Foundation™ because their mission is to raise awareness and fund life-changing breakthroughs in research to cure, prevent, and treat type 1 diabetes.
JDRF is the leading organization funding type 1 diabetes (T1D) research. JDRF’s mission is to accelerate life-changing breakthroughs to cure, prevent and treat T1D and its complications.
T1D is an autoimmune disease that strikes both children and adults suddenly. In T1D, the pancreas stops producing insulin—a hormone the body needs to get energy from food. It has nothing to do with diet or lifestyle. There is nothing a person can do to prevent it and at present, there is no cure.
JDRF works every day to change the reality of this disease for millions of people by funding research, advocating for government support of research and new therapies, ensuring new therapies come to market and connecting and engaging the T1D community.
Every dollar put toward research comes from donations. When people show their support with time, talent, voice and, money it enables JDRF to advance more research.
Doing the greatest good for the largest number of people, in the shortest period of time.
