Illinois Chapter Partner Event Program

Getting Started – Your Event Plan

1. Pick a date: Choose any date that works for you and your friends and family. Please inform the JDRF Illinois Chapter office as soon as possible so we can add it to our calendar.

2. Fill out your JDRF Events paperwork: Auxiliary Partner form and Auxiliary Partner signed agreement.

3. Design your flyers, ask JDRF for logo and logo guidelines.

4. Send out e-mail blasts and letters to your supporters!

5. Host your event.

6. Submit all checks to JDRF within one month of your event: JDRF will send tax acknowledgement letters to all of your donors that wrote checks out directly to JDRF.

7. Thank your donors: If you need help, please don’t hesitate to contact JDRF for support. We can work with you to help you come up with a great template for you to use! We have included a sample “thank you” note in this packet for your use! Donors are always happy to receive a personal note thanking them for their gift.

8. Be proud of your accomplishment! Every dollar you raised will support JDRF’s continued research to find a cure for diabetes and its complications.
