Congratulations to our 2008 Scholarship Winners!
Better Living Now teamed up with the Long Island Chapter of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation this year to provide scholarships for one week at a diabetes-friendly summer camp for three lucky kids.
This year’s winners were:
Kevin Drake, age 5
Kristine Hawk, age 14
Laura Burby, age 14
Check back for news about next year’s program.
Summer camps geared for children with diabetes offer a wide range of fun, summer-time activities, while also providing kids with an opportunity to make friends with other children who are living with diabetes and to learn more about how to best manage their disease. Parents can also feel confident that the staff is prepared to deal with all of the medical and nutritional needs associated with diabetes.
Better Living Now, a national managed care provider of products, medications and services for chronic illnesses, has teamed up again this year with the Long Island Chapter of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) to send three lucky kids to a diabetes-friendly summer camp. The winners will receive a full scholarship for one week at any ADA-approved camp. A list of approved camps can be found at www.diabetes.org/communityprograms-and-localevents/diabetescamps.jsp
