Chilcote Family Fundraising Page for 2011
Thank you for visiting our family's fundraising page!
First we want to say thank you for visiting our page for this years Diabetic Youth Foundation Walk and FUNraiser! We are beginning our 3rd year chairing this event and LOVE it! Last year with the help of many it was a HUGE success. We had over 200 people attend and had a profit close to 30K. DYF continues to be an amazing place for many and we are so greatful to have our friends/family and even strangers to us support this organization.
As our family conitnues to co-chair the Sacramento area walk we hope you can support us. Whether that mean by prayer, creating your own walk team (even if you're out of state), helping at the event or making a donation of $5 - $500. The camps & year round programs are so important to the kiddos and families who live every day with diabetes. We can't do that without the help of others.
What DYF means to us :)
Tyler:"It is a place where I am happy and not scared without my parents. My counselors take good care of me. I love all the places DYF allows me to go: camping, surfing, ice skating. Please help me raise money so I and my friends can go again."
Emily: "The best part about both my brothers having diabetes is that I get to go to all the fun places too! Diabetes camp gives me friends who know what it's like to live with diabetes and it makes me happy to see Tyler so happy"
We hope that you are able to help these brave kiddos who have to have a lot more responsibility than some of their peers. Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to be a part of this special event!
Love~ Dean, Carole, Tyler, Emily & Ryan
