I know this may not be the right place to be asking for donations, but being that I don’t know that many people I figured this couldn’t hurt.
This June I will be riding in the Tour de Cure, a bike ride aimed to raise money for diabetes research, education, and advocacy. I have set a personal goal of raising $175 and a team goal of $1,200. So far my we’ve only raised 12% of our desired goal. With your help we could achieve our goal and, more importantly, we can exceed it.
If you are one of the 20 million Americans affected by diabetes or if you are a family member of one of those 20 million than you know how hard it is to deal with. By donating to this great charity you can help improve the lives of all those affected. Any amount, no matter how big or how small, helps in this great cause.
To donate online please follow the link below

To donate by check please send me a message.
Thank you very much
Sorry, I’ve gotten far more help for my diabetes from books, the Internet, and others who have it and are successful at taking care of it. To me the ADA is like the AMA… I’ll just leave it at that so as to keep the thumbs downs to a manageable level.

No I wont. I believe any non-profit organisation should be operated like a business and thus should be able to raise funds by providing value in return for cash rather than asking for outright donations.

i would ask a store owner to let you set up a table out side and ask for donations. or i would sell hotdogs for donation or whatever, if you are trying to rais funds your not gonna get them on the internet. Find real people, even if you don’t know them

I will not donate to ADA and yes, I’m a diabetic. I believe that any person who has diabetes should automatically be a member of this organization because they have the disease. But, when I called to become a member, they wanted a membership fee. When I told them I lived on a very fixed income and cannot afford that, they basically told me that I can’t become a member. Well, I think that is wrong. If someone needs the services, regardless of income, they should be allowed. I cannot believe they "discarded" me like that. I will not donate to that orgazination and am appalled at anyone who would ask for donations on this site.
