What have you accomplished?

DARF actively seeks out opportunities to become involved in special camps for children with diabetes.  One such camp is Camp AZDA.  The parents of a greatful camper writes to express their appreciation for the camp sponsorship:   "Thank you for your generosity in providing the funds to send our daughter to the special camp this year. She often speaks of the experience--the friendships she has developed are so important to her in helping her to deal with the emotions and challenges that she faces on a daily basis associated with having diabetes . . .This will be of great benefit to her as she begins high school this coming fall."
