Partners in Building is pleased to announce their support of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). Several employees of Partners in Building have been involved in the charity in recent years because of family members who suffer from type 1 (Juvenile) Diabetes, so Partners in Building is now happy to be participating to help this worthy cause.

“We believe it’s important to support members of the Partners in Building team in both their personal and professional lives,” said Elizabeth Phillips, Director of Marketing. “This is a wonderful opportunity to help a cause that is important to many of our employees, and we’re proud to help.”

Partners in Building will work to raise $10,000 for JDRF, and recently participated in The Walk to Cure Diabetes held at Reliant Park. Having already raised $8,300, they are well on their way to achieving their goal.

“We had a really great team walking, and it was a great experience,” said Phillips. “We’re looking forward to getting even more people involved next year.”

Type 1 Juvenile Diabetes strikes children suddenly, makes them dependent on insulin for life, and it can affect adults as well. The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International is the leading charitable funder and advocate of type 1 diabetes research worldwide.  The mission of JDRF is to find a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support of research.
