On April 28th, CRi joined the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) in the fight to cure juvenile diabetes by participating in the JDRF Walk in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. CRi was a corporate sponsor for the Walk and also sponsored a CRi Walk Team. Fifteen team members walked for the cause and raised $1,250. CRi has been a corporate sponsor of the JDRF Walk for 18 years.
The Sioux Falls JDRF One Walk is a fun, family-friendly event where dedicated walkers, volunteers and sponsors raise money to make living with T1D safer and healthier until it is no longer a threat.
