November is Type 1 Diabetes awareness month!
The Annawan girls basketball team is hosting a T1D awareness night on Wednesday, November 29th. The girls will be playing Wethersfield that night…we are hoping to pack the gym, raise awareness about the signs and symptoms of Type 1 Diabetes, and raise some money for the Pediatric Diabetes Resource Center at OSF in Peoria.
We will be collecting raffle baskets/donations for raffles all month so if you would like to make a donation, please contact myself or one of the basketball girls!
We also have a t-shirt link with a VERY fast turn around. The store is open now and will close on Thursday, November 9th! We will be picking up shirts and making drops to Annawan and Wethersfield schools, so please choose which your drop off point at check-out. If you are out of the area, but still would like to support T1D awareness, there is a shipping option.
We hope to see you there!
