With T1D plaguing over one million Americans and ranking as the 7th leading cause of death in the United States, DRC has been raising funds for peer-reviewed research to improve the quality of life for children and adults who suffer from this disease. In order to support innovative scientific inquiry, DRC uses the support of tax-deductible funding to connect donors with early-career researchers, enabling them to perform novel research designed to prevent and cure T1D and minimize its complications.
"Since late 2014, we've funded seven research projects and raised more than $400,000 to eradicate T1D," said DRC spokesperson Christina Kalberg. "Not only have we made huge strides in funding impactful research, but we've also been able to raise awareness across the board. November is a great month to recognize both types of diabetes that people suffer from and work together to eliminate them."
Each donation helps early-career scientists get their ideas off the ground and enables 100% of funds directed for T1D research to go directly to the researcher's laboratory. Donations are critical in helping operate DRC's innovative platform and driving research. In addition to the Double Your Dollars campaign, supporters of DRC can donate to the organization through the AmazonSmile program. Shoppers can select "The Diabetes Research Connection" as their charity of choice and for each purchase, Amazon will donate 0.5% of the purchase price to the DRC, all at no cost to the customer.
