Moses Cheeks Slam Dunk For diabetes Fundraiser
Moses Cheeks Slam Dunk For Diabetes Fund Raiser June 8, 2008 - Chicago, IL - ”A smashing success”, “awesome”, and “lots of fun”, were just some of the words used to describe our event on Sunday evening, regarding the fundraiser held at the Rumba restaurant in Chicago. We
drew a huge crowd including many Slam Dunk Kids and their families.
Our silent auction theme was Art and Sports. The Slam Dunk Kids unveiled our long awaited mural to a packed house. (Mural can be viewed on our News page as well as replicas on items that may be purchased.) Both adults and kids Salsa danced until the evening ended. All in all, it was great fun and a special evening for all who attended.
Thanks to the many people who volunteered time and donated items.
We couldn’t have done it without you. |

Cure Diabetes Magnet Ribbon Our ribbon is dedicated to the memory of Cathy Fleming. Cathy was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at 5 years of age. She was a college student when she became my patient. Cathy was filled with life and brought joy to all who knew her. She died at the age of 25, after a long battle with the complications of a pancreas transplant. We hope her spirit lives on through our ribbon. Click HERE to read Cathy's story and view the ribbon.
This ribbon represents a combined effort of
several individuals with hopes to raise awareness about the disease
Diabetes. We chose the color green because it represents life.
John Harrington, age 22, who has Type 1 diabetes, chose the color sky
blue. He also came up with the slogan, "Almost There". It
represents a sign of hope that soon there will be a cure. |
