Step Up to Fight Diabetes

The physical rewards of Step Up are extremely gratifying, but participation requires another level of commitment as well.

Each Climber in Step Up to Fight Diabetes commits to raising a minimum of $1,000 in donations. If you've never before been a "fund raiser," or you have never had to raise that much for a charity event you've participated in, don't let the fund-raising requirement or amount stop you! This is true for SUV's as wellÛeven though you're not required to raise a minimum amount, we encourage you to set a personal fund-raising goal and take advantage of the support we provide to make fund raising easy.

The Step Up staff will be right by your side every step of the way until you meet (and exceed) your goal! You'll be amazed at how quickly your donations add up, even if you've never raised a dime before. After all, you're not asking for yourselfÛyou're asking on behalf of the 21 million children and adults living with diabetes in the U.S. You're asking to help those working so diligently to find a cure for diabetes.

Five people at $200 each
Ten people at $100 each
Twenty people at $50 each
Forty people at $25 each
