JDRF’s Fund A Cure program gives supporters the opportunity to directly impact the search for a cure. Through this program 100% of all donations will go directly to areas of promising research.

The money raised through this year’s Fund A Cure program will benefit research in the area of complications and will be named in honor of Ron Santo, at the request of the Chicago Cubs and the Ricketts family.
