JDRF Today: Our Identity is Evolving

For more than 40 years, JDRF has been a leader in the search for an end to type 1 diabetes, through both research funding and advocacy. During that time, we have always talked about a cure as a singular destination: a return to normal physiology.

But today, we realize that a cure is not just a destination but also a journey along a path. And we recognize that a part of our mission must be to keep those living with type 1 today alive and healthy until we arrive at the end of that path.

In the coming months we’ll be progressively rolling out new information, logos, and terminology.

For more information on our rebranding, visit jdrf.org.
