In February, Wheaton Warrenville South put together a prom fashion show in which ticket proceeds were donated to the American Diabetes Association. After a few busy months of excitement and anticipation, the results are in. Wheaton Warrenville South raised $500 for the American Diabetes Association. I am so proud of my high school right now. Do you know of a local school that wants to put on a fashion show to raise money for the American Diabetes Association? Contact me at wcrjano@sbcglobal.net to get ideas on how to put together this event. I was the director for my school's prom fashion show in 2013 and I have a few tricks on how to put together a successful show.
But, you do not have to limit yourself with putting on a fashion show to raise money for the American Diabetes Association. You can host a School Walk where education materials are provided to your school to learn about type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Events such as walks, dances, dodge ball game, basketball, school fair are good fundraising opportunities and can be apart of your School Walk program.
