Diabuddies

What We Do and Why We Do It

At Diabuddies, we’re all about connection, creativity, and community! From adventurous scavenger hunts to colorful arts and crafts like painting ornaments or designing kites, we create opportunities for children with Type 1 Diabetes and their families to come together, laugh, and make memories.

But we’re more than just fun events. Diabuddies is where wisdom is shared, support is offered, and lifelong friendships are built. We’re here to remind every child and family that they are stronger than they think, braver than they feel, and never without a buddy who truly gets it. Together, we’re not just managing diabetes—we’re thriving, growing, and living life to the fullest!
