We Have An Urgent Need For Our Angel Food Assistance Fund - Please Donate One of our most important programs is our Angel Food Assistance Fund. This fund provides immediate assistance for families struggling with food insecurity. We currently have 13 applications with emergency food needs, but our Angel Food Assistance Fund is running low. We need to raise $2,000 today in order to meet the critical needs of these 13 families and their children to ensure they don't go to bed hungry tonight. Donate today, and a child eats tonight. Will you please make a donation of $25 or more tonight to help us reach our goal? If just 1% of the people who see this message today make a tax-deductible donation, it will make a huge difference in this lives of these families.

Strike Out T1D with Us This Weekend! Get ready to roll with purpose! This Sunday, November 10th, Leyton and I are hitting the lanes at Victory Bowl in Mankato for the fourth annual Strike Out T1D event. We’re excited to be bowling to raise funds for Camp Sweetlife, an incredible nonprofit camp that supports kids with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) in living full, empowered lives. Why Camp Sweetlife? Camp Sweetlife isn’t just a camp—it’s a life-changing experience. It’s a place where kids with T1D get to be kids, enjoying all the classic camp adventures, surrounded by counselors and medical staff who truly understand what they're going through. Our goal is to eventually make this camp free for any T1D kid, ensuring no child misses out on this experience due to financial reasons. Here’s How You Can Help! You can support our team in a few ways: Pledge Per Strike: Donate per strike our team throws (like $0.50 per strike). Example: $0.50 x 50 strikes = $25. Pledge with a Cap: Donate per strike but with a max amount, like $0.50 per strike up to a $20 donation. Flat Donation: Keep it easy and give a set amount for the event! To contribute, you can donate directly to Camp Sweetlife here https://lnkd.in/gVmM3fZU or Venmo me, and I’ll make sure it reaches them. or, like and share this post to make sure it reaches as many people as possible. Together, let’s show kids with T1D that nothing can hold them back!
