Brandt Supports Saskatchewan Children's D-Camp
May 23, 2013
Brandt has donated $50,000 to support the Canadian Diabetes Association and their Saskatchewan Children's D-Camp Program.For more than 57 years, the Canadian Diabetes Association has been operating its unique Saskatchewan Children's D-Camp, an inspiring place for children and youth living with type 1 diabetes.
"We all know friends, family, or co-workers affected by diabetes and its life-changing effects. Donating to the Canadian Diabetes Association's Saskatchewan Children's D-Camp is a priority for Brandt, because of the great work they do to help children and families connect and share experiences to better help them cope with and self-manage this serious disease,” says Gavin Semple, Chairman, Brandt Group of Companies. “Helping children and families within a supportive and nurturing environment such as this camping program is a very worthy cause—one that Brandt is very honoured to support."
The Canadian Diabetes Association is the only national provider of camps for children with diabetes in Canada. The Saskatchewan Children's D-Camp is the only one of its kind in the province. D-Camps provide children ages 8 to 14, living with type 1 diabetes in communities across Saskatchewan, an authentic and exciting camp experience where they also take steps to becoming independent in managing their diabetes.
