Organizer Help A Diabetic Child Foundation
Organizer of 5th Annual Florida Diabetes & Wellness Conference - Collier County
Not long after their 16-year-old son was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, Tami and Joe Balvage began the Help a Diabetic Child Foundation. They were fortunate enough to be able to support and afford the lifelong challenges of having a child with diabetes but quickly realized there are too many children and families who were not as fortunate. HADC was formed as a non-profit public charity with a mission to raise money to purchase testing supplies and insulin for kids in need. Now, HADC is a community partner with health care providers, doctors, hospitals and community centers as a vital resource to connect children and families with the supplies, education and support they need.
