What is something that I can give to the people who donate to the Juvenile Diabetes fund?
So, I wanted to start collecting money as donations for the Juvenile Diabetes fund, but I also wanted to be able to give the people who donate a little something. I also think that that would attract more people to donating. For example, when I collected money for the Breast Cancer fund, I gave out little pink Breast Cancer ribbons to each person that donated. I wanted to do something a little different for diabetes though. So, does anyone have an idea?
You donate stevia tablets,
Stevia Extract is a sweetener from the small (Stevia rebaudiana) plants native to Paraguay and Brazil. It was identified in 1887 by Antonio Bertoni, a South American scientist, who learned of the herb from the Guarani Paraguayan Indians. Stevia was known locally as Caa’-ehe or Kaa’he-e which means “sweet herb” or “honeyleaf”. Two French chem-ists named Bridel and Lavielle began to unravel the secret of Stevia in 1931 with exploratory extraction work on Stevia rebaudiana leaves. Their research yielded a pure, white crystalline compound they named “stevioside.” They found this substance to be 100-300 times sweeter than table sugar and without toxic side effects in laboratory animals. Dozens of studies have shown Stevia to be a safe supplement for the human diet, and it is currently used extensively throughout the world in a variety of ways. Since far less needs to be used, Stevia extract will not affect blood sugar levels nearly as much as sucrose (table sugar) and should be useful as a sweetener for those with diabetes. Stevia may be used in baking and cooking. The Memory Guru of India
I am a captain for a team for the Diabetic Walk here in my city this weekend, and I gave out pins for people to wear that say “Support Diabetes Awareness”. There are several companies you can order from (I found mine on Google) and they really don’t cost much. I had thought about putting “I Supported Diabetes Awareness”….
People around me seem to like the starts that have “_______ donated to the American Diabetes Association Walk”….I had them at the grocery stores and they would put them in the windows so people could see how many donated.
