American Diabetes Association

The American Diabetes Association (ADA) is leading the fight to prevent, cure, and manage diabetes. Every day, we work to improve the lives of the over 38 million Americans living with diabetes—including more than 667,000 in Arizona. Through advocacy, education, and groundbreaking research, we strive to ensure everyone has access to the care, resources, and support they need. Your donation helps fund critical programs, life-changing research, and community initiatives that empower individuals and families affected by diabetes. Together, we can create a future free of diabetes and its burdens.

The ADA has been providing support and unforgettable experiences to children living with diabetes through our camps and family retreats since 1949. Each year, we host thousands of campers and their families across the country, offering a unique blend of adventure, education, mentorship, and fun.
