Summer Camps
The Diabetes Aid and Research Fund is able to provide ongoing
support to summer camps and local food programs of community agencies.
The goal of these special camps is to provide the child or teen with
diabetes with a memorable recreational and educational experience.
These programs also provide vital educational information for the prevention
and treatment of diabetes.
Oasis Research Hospital
The Oasis research hospital continues to be one of the leaders in scientific
research which includes programs directed at finding a cure for diabetes.
Their motivation is grounded in the fact that currently there are
approximately 16 million Americans with diabetes - only half of them are
diagnosed and over 80,000 people with diabetes undergo dialysis or kidney
transplantation each year.
Gerson Institute
The programs and services of the Gerson Institute target various forms of
cancer, leukemia, and lymphoma disease. As a direct result of grants,
the organization will be able to provide a much more cost-effective program
for individuals and their families to develop a healthier lifestyle.
Nutritional Feeding Programs
These programs continue to be one of DARF's major areas of focus. DARF
has established ongoing food programs in countries around the world and in
the United States in an effort to meet demands of providing nutritious food
- especially for the children. The organizations that DARF sponsors
are able to not only provide food, but were also able to supply teaching
aids and instructional materials about good eating habits.
