Help create the blueprint for a world without type 1 diabetes
At JDRF, our mission is to create a world without type 1 diabetes (T1D), and your school can help us do it by GOING BLUE with us in 2024.
You can Go Blue any day of the year! Consider spreading T1D awareness before National Diabetes Week* in July or World Diabetes Day on November 14.
Another heartwarming way to Go Blue is by marking the diaversary of your student/s living with T1D (that's the meaningful anniversary of the day they were diagnosed!).
So, what are you waiting for? Simply create your school page and update your fundraising page with the date you've decided to Go Blue once registered.
*This year, National Diabetes Week coincides with school holidays in many states - but that doesn’t mean you can’t join in! Why not recognise this important observance with a Go Blue Day during the last week of term instead?
ways to go blue
Wear it blue
Whether it’s a blue hoodie, socks, shoelaces, or even a blue wig, beanie, or cap, your fashion statement can make a difference.
Colour it blue
Get creative with blue hair chalk, temporary hair spray, and more! Add a splash of blue to your school by hanging blue banners or balloons.
Make it blue
Unleash your creative skills! Craft something blue and share it with others, for example blue awareness bracelets and custom t-shirts.
Bake it blue
Whip up some delicious blue cupcakes, slices, and cakes to raise awareness. Share them at a fete, disco, presentation or staff meeting.
