Diabetes Community Center featured on Fox 21

Some Give! alumni have told us the best thing about their participation in Give! wasn’t the additional funding they raised — what they really prized was the chance to learn how to market themselves to local media.

Not that you shouldn’t support the Diabetes Community Center with your time and dollars anyway, but look at them tearing it up on FOX21! They’re one of the smallest, newest nonprofits featured in Give! this year, but they definitely know how to make an impact. Great job, guys!
