Avalanche Penalty Box Challenge

in , , , ,

Do you ever want to put diabetes in the “penalty box”? Now is your chance to get behind the scenes to watch the Colorado Avalanche warm up from the Penalty Box! Join Breakthrough T1D for the upcoming Tuesday, January 14 game against the Dallas Stars. This amazing experience is not-to-be-missed!

Here’s how you can qualify to win:

  1. To enter, go to jdrf.org/yourway and set up a fundraiser to benefit Breakthrough T1D.
    1. Don’t worry, your fundraiser can be anything you want! Celebrate your dia-versary, a special occasion, an athletic event, a Tuesday… the sky is the limit when you use the Breakthrough T1D Your Way platform!
  2. For every $100 raised between now and January 13, 2020, you will receive ONE ENTRANCE to this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Here are a couple of tips and tricks to get you to your goal:

  • Link your fundraiser to Facebook: when you log into your participant center, select “Connect to Facebook” and follow the prompts. Make sure to invite your friends and family and post a few reminders!
  • Make a self donation: lead by example. When you’re setting up your fundraising page, you have the option to make a gift to your fundraiser. Your friends and family will see your commitment to a world without T1D and be more likely to contribute
  • Share your story: When you download the free Breakthrough T1D app, you can choose your favorite way to communicate– social media, email, texting, or in-person to tell everyone about your fundraiser. If you are not sure what to say, don’t worry, your participant center has templates to get you started.
  • Follow Up: Just like you, your friends and family are busy and it may take a friendly reminder, or two, before they make a donation. Don’t get discouraged if people don’t donate right away.

Here’s a few rules:
