Beta cells produce the insulin that turns the body's glucose into the energy of life.
By enrolling in the Beta Society with your planned gift you will help to provide the present and future financial energy needed for diabetes research. The Juvenile Diabetes Foundation established the BETA Society to honor individuals who provide for JDF in their estate plans, assuring that research will continue until the day the cure is a reality. We have chosen BETA as the symbol of this society because it reminds us of the devastating nature of diabetes, but also represents the hope that modern science holds for its victims. By providing for the future of JDF-funded research until a cure is found you are improving the lives of the millions who are afflicted today with diabetes.
