World Diabetes Day Event Recap



What was this event for ?

This event was to promote awareness of World Diabetes Day, an international campaign which falls on Banting's birthday (discoverer of insulin!)

What did we do ?

We had a trivia game, sold diabetes-friendly baked goods for donations, and photobooth contest happening -- with each activity done, each participant got one entry ballot for our raffle (so if they did three, then got three entries!! How awesome?)

What did people win? 

If you answered all the trivia Q's correctly, you got them free tea samples!
The raffle was for 3 gift baskets of assorted food! (Please see previous post for WINNERS !)

Who showed up?

Lots of people with T1 and T2 diabetes came up to our table, and there was an open house with prospective students + parents as well !
We all got to meet a lot of new people :) 

PHC and HOL volunteers came out to the event as well, in full support!

What did we all learn?

We and hopefully you all learned more about diabetes through the trivia game (spin the wheel and answer T/F and Q's about diabetes)!

BIG THANKS to everyone that showed up and can't wait to meet the rest of you at our next event !
