On Wednesday, April 6th, our club hosted a fruit salad fundraiser at school to raise funds for the JDRF Type 1 Diabetes Walk (                 to read more) and to raise awareness about healthy living in adolescents. Typically, food fundraisers in our school revolve around baked chocolate goods or ice cream, so we wanted to present fundraising alternatives by adding a healthy twist to food sales. Each of our club members donated a variety of cut fruit as well as bowls and serving utensils for our sale. We set up our self-serve fruit salad bar in the hallway so that students and faculty could quickly grab a healthy snack in between classes or during lunch. Our sale proved to be quite popular; we raised a total of $150! We believe that every bit counts to help find a cure for Type I diabetes and to inspire our peers to shift their lifestyles.
