Austin Teens Type 1 Diabetic Force
OUR MISSION - For teens with Type 1 Diabetes and their Parents: To promote physical, emotional and spiritual well-being through family support, exchange of information and shared experiences.

This Austin-based group for Type 1 teens was started in 2003 as a result of area teens and their parents feeling an important need to come together for mutual support, the exchange of information, and advocacy for Type 1 teens.

This group meets the second Wednesday of each month, but meeting dates vary depending on holidays and additional group plans. Teens ages 11 – 18 and their parents meet together or separately for activities, discussions and refreshments. Guest speakers provide knowledgeable information for the families on relevant topics.

Special events for the group have included movie and pizza night for the teens, holiday family parties, glow-in-the-dark bowling at UT, car washes to raise funds, picnics and participation as a group in the annual WALK TO CURE DIABETES.

The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), the world’s leading nonprofit, nongovernmental sponsor of diabetes research, was founded in 1970 by the parents of children with juvenile diabetes—a disease which strikes children suddenly, makes them insulin dependent for life, and carries the constant threat of devastating complications.  Since inception, JDRF has provided more than $800 million to diabetes research worldwide.  We are proud to say that more than 80% of every dollar goes directly to research and research education.  Our mission is constant: to find a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support of research.

Our chapter is growing by leaps and bounds in one of the most vibrant cities in the country. Austin is known as the live music capital of the world and has a style and energy all its own. That energy is reflected in the enthusiasm and support shown by the community in our search for a cure for diabetes.

JDRF is dedicated to raising funds for research, and in Austin we are doing this through a highly successful Walk, a Golf Tournament, and our annual Gala.

We always have a great time, and the entire community is invited to get involved!
