Congratulations, you have just . taken the first step towards helping arrest the nation's third leading clluse of death by diseuse. Last year it cillimed the lives of over 300,000 men, .. omen. and children, and is presently stlliking over 13 million victims. It is an equnl opportunity killer. It's victims are of all roces, religions, and nges. The life cxpecttlncy of a person Ilquiring the juvenile form of this disease is shortened by one third. This.devastating disease is known us DIABETES. The Diabetes Heseurch Institute is currently recognized throughout the world as one of the finest resellrch and treatment centers in for diabetes in existence. The continued support of , the Florida Jaycees is recognized as an intcgrlll part of the D. H. I 's s u c c e s s La stye oro v e r 45 Jay c e e c hop t e r s 8 s s i s t e d the scientists at the Diabetes Hesearch Institute in their uttempts to solve the mysterics surrounding diabetes and bring it to a hult. The Florida Jaycees contributed over $31,000 to the D.H.I. last year, And this year we hope to double that effort. With your help, we can combat and one day cure the disease that is not only the third leading cause of death by disease, but olso the number one cause of new blindness, a major cause of heart attacks, strokes ' I kidney failure, and gangrene. The materials inside this pllcket were designed to help you plan your project. Please go over them and be the spark that drives your chapter to run a project for the Diabetes Research Institute. If there is anything I con do to help, please feel fr('c to cllil me ntrllome (305)758-3173 or at the D.H..I. j (305 )888-3437I

Sample News Item for Jaycee State or Chapter Publication

DECLARATION OF WAR ISSUEDThe United are asking successful for what it States Jaycees have declared all-out war on juvenile diabetes and you to enlist. The Declaration of War is the result of numerous attacks upon young children by the enemy. Recognize the enemy is:

Diabetes is the third leading cause of death by disease (ranking only behind cancer and cardiovascular disease). At its present growth rate, diabetes will be the leading cause of death by disease within ten years. There are an estimated 10 million diabetics in the country. There are approximately in this country. 1.2 million juvenile diabetics

Once afflicted, the juvenile diabetic may suffer the loss of a limb, go blind, lose a kidney, or die. Once afflicted by juvenile diabetes, the life expectancy of the juvenile diabetic is reduced by V3. Juvenile diabetes may wreak havoc on the central nervous system, thus affecting many other body functions. Juvenile diabetes is the leading cause of new blindness.

How do you fight this insidious enemy? Not with insulin. Insulin was thought to be a cure for juvenile diabetes, but such is not the case. But the enemy does have a weakness - research. The more research, the quicker the victory. But more research can only be possible through a large army of volunteers. Only through the unique organization and manpower of the United States Jaycees can the public become educated concerning juvenile diabetes and thus respond to its enormous and immediate need. Participating chapters will be amazed to discover how deeply juvenile diabetes has infiltrated their own communities. This is definitely a community project. Your community needs you!

Please help stop juvenile diabetes. For further information, contact:

importance of their uniting in a common mission to benefit humanity. "It is one of those rare occasions when you know the world is really all right," Congressman Fascell said. The primary source of Blueprint for Cure funds is DAD's Day (Dollars Against Diabetes), an event held each year since 1987 during Father's Day weekend. Since its inception, tens of thousands of union

members have dedicated their Father's Day weekend to DAD's Day, carrying posters and buckets to busy street intersections and shopping malls, requesting donations to benefit diabetes research. DAD's Day brought in more than $500,000 its first year, $800,000 its second year, and $1 million its third year. This past year was a record-breaking one for this unprecedented grass-roots effort. The 1990 campaign expanded to involve cities in
