Thank You Sloan Park and the Chicago Cubs!

Sloan Park and the Chicago Cubs have been an incredible partner of JDRF for many years. Ron Santo played Major League Baseball for the Chicago Cubs from 1960 to 1973 and was elected to the Hall of Fame as a Cub in 2012.

In addition to becoming a celebrated third baseman while living with type 1 diabetes, Santo was also a dedicated JDRF friend and supporter, hosting the Ron Santo Walk to Cure Diabetes in Illinois for decades and helping to raise over $60 million for JDRF.

The Ron Santo Grand Slam Award is given to the walk team participating for the first time who raises the most money to help us find a cure.

In addition to the Ron Santo Grand Slam Award, there are many exciting New Team incentives! Visit the New Team tab for more information.

It takes One Walk to fight T1D

The JDRF One Walk is your chance to show the world that together, we can conquer type 1 diabetes (T1D). If you're living with T1D or you love someone living with T1D, you'll likely do just about anything to make life easier.

When you participate in JDRF One Walk, the money you raise will power more research, enable more advocacy and fund more support for the 1.45 million Americans living with T1D. And, you'll have a great time doing it! That's because you'll walk with a committed community that is passionate about doing whatever it takes to live in a world without T1D.

By joining the JDRF One Walk, you'll be part of the lasting footprint we'll make for the T1D community now, and for generations to come. We can't wait for you to join us!
