AADE Foundation
With the holidays upon us, many people find this time of year the most appropriate for supporting causes that are near and dear to them, sometimes people forget about the organizations that are part of their daily lives.
As a diabetes educator, the AADE plays a deeply meaningful role in your professional life. But is the AADE Education and Research Foundation on your annual year-end giving list?
We support the people you are professionally closest with on a daily basis – you, your patients and their families, and your colleagues.
Your year-end gift will help secure the role of diabetes educators as essential health care
providers and will ensure education and support for some of the people we care about most –
our patients.
These are just a few of the initiatives your contribution will support:
- Growing scholarship opportunities for current and future diabetes educators
- Research on the integration of new technology and telehealth for education and patient support
- Examining Type 2 Diabetes in children, with a focus on prevention and childhood obesity
- Enhancing workforce and career path development.
And that’s just the beginning of what’s in store. In 2012, AADE Education and Research Foundation funds will make the following programs possible:
- Touching Hearts/Reaching Out Campaign grants, with applications available in mid-2012
- Scholarship opportunities for newer diabetes educator/members
- Research and program opportunities in areas such as: continuous quality improvement (CQI), pharmacist as diabetes educator, diabetes and depression.
It’s only through the help of our donors that we are able to support the work you’ve dedicated your life to. We hope you agree that we should be on your year-end giving list. Give the gift that enables life-saving education, research and outreach -- to be learned and shared. Please help us help you help others with a gift today.
