The American Diabetes Association is leading the fight to stop diabetes and its deadly consequences and fighting for those affected by diabetes. The Association funds research to prevent, cure and manage diabetes; delivers services to hundreds of communities; provides objective and credible information; and gives voice to those denied their rights because of diabetes. Founded in 1940, the ADA mission is to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes.

1 person every 20 seconds is diagnosed with diabetes.  Whether these donors have diabetes, are parents of children with diabetes, or have family or friends with the disease, they all feel strongly that scientific research and assistance from the ADA can make a difference. All have responded to a combination of straight appeal and premium gift direct mail programs and opt to donate via mail, telephone, or online. ADA donors have proven to support numerous health, children’s, and social causes.
