Based on the value of “People Helping People,” Allegacy believes in giving back to the community we serve. Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation was founded in 1970 by parents of children with diabetes. Their mission: to find a cure for the disease and its complications through the support of research. Allegacy initiates many fundraising activities, in addition to participating in the annual 3.5 mile walk at Wake Forest University. Each year we sell JDRF "sneakers" in an effort to raise money for JDRF research. Our individual teams hold fundraisers such as bake, hotdog, pizza, ice cream and candy bar sales plus we have an internal intranet auction! As of October 7, Allegacy has raised $11,828.66 towards a goal of $15,000. If you would like to sign up to walk or donate to a walker, visit the Walk to Cure Diabetes website. You can also stop by your local Allegacy Financial Center or contact Member Services at 336.774.3400 / 800.782.4670 to make a donation. The 10th Annual "Don't Wait" Benefit Golf Tournament To date, the DW Golf Tournament has raised over $414,000 for Cancer Services, Inc., to support their dedication to patient services and community relations. This money goes directly to breast and ovarian cancer survivors, and women in the community who want to learn prevention and early detection techniques. The contributions from the tournament mean more breast and ovarian cancer survivors can receive assistance and each can receive more in-depth help than ever before. As of October 5, 2009, $42,000 has been raised towards our goal of $50,000! To register yourself, a team or to learn more about other sponsorship opportunities, visit our event registration site.
