 Juvenile
Diabetes Research
JDRF, the
leading charitable funder and advocate of juvenile (type 1)
diabetes research worldwide, was founded in 1970 by the parents
of children with juvenile diabetes — a disease which
strikes children suddenly, makes them insulin-dependent for
life, and carries the constant threat of devastating complications.
Since inception, JDRF has provided more than $800 million
in direct funding to diabetes research. JDRF's mission is
constant: to find a cure for diabetes and its complications
through the support of research.

 Cheyenne
Animal Shelter
The mission of the Cheyenne Animal Shelter is to make a significant
contribution to the lives of animals by acting as advocates
for their well being. For over 30 years, the Cheyenne Animal
Shelter has extended the hand of kindness to neglected and
abused companion animals in Cheyenne and Laramie County.
 Race
for the Cure
The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation's mission is to
eradicate breast cancer as a life threatening disease by advancing
research, education, screening and treatment. The Wyoming
Affiliate of the Komen Breast Cancer Foundation was established
in 1996. Wyoming has a long tradition of neighbor-helping-neighbor,
and the Komen Wyoming Race for the Cure ® is no exception.
Donations granted on behalf of the organization fund breast
cancer awareness, education and detection programs. Seventy
five percent of net proceeds raised stay in Wyoming. The remaining
twenty-five percent supports national breast cancer research.
