Even a month before participating in the June 12th Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation walking fundraiser, Bronwyn Wheeler and Brittne Rasmussen are taking an extra step. The 21 year-old pair of Okotoks locals are organizing a garage sale on May 14th to help raise even more research money.
“Both of our fathers are diabetic,” Brittne says. “So we want to raise some awareness and make a donation that'll help make things better for people with this disease.”
The fundraising Garage and Bake Sale is taking place on May 14th from 8am to 4pm, at 33 Crystal Ridge Way in Okotoks. The Bake Sale is featuring ½ sugar-free treats and half regular baked goods. If you can't make the Sale, donate online by going to http://jdrfca.donordrive.com/index.cfm and searching team name "Beef". The team is donating all proceeds to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, so come out to support Juvenile Diabetes Research and two local Okotoks girls with big hearts!
