Together, we can fight to end diabetes.

With your support, the ADA can continue our lifesaving work to make breakthroughs in research and provide people with the resources they need to manage diabetes. You do something you already love or challenge yourself by trying something new. We provide easy, online fundraising tools to make you a fundraising pro. 

Create Your Own

Turn your talent, hobby, or special occasion—like a birthday, anniversary, or holiday—into a fundraiser on your own terms. Engage friends, family, and coworkers near or far, and let your creativity shine. The key is choosing something meaningful and having fun with it! 

"In August, Ida traveled over 10,000 miles and raised more than $2,800 in the fight to end diabetes! Ida began her motorcycle journey from Florida to Homer, Alaska riding in the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge. She made it safely across the country and into Homer three weeks later." Thank you, Ida!

Personal Athletic Event

Imagine the thrill of crossing the finish line or achieving a personal goal. Use that passion to inspire friends and family to donate to your fundraiser. Whether you run, climb, swim, or anything in between, follow what moves you!  Tackle your first 5K and ask for support, or sign up for a triathlon, and push your fundraising efforts—to the max!

Create Your Fundraiser

Create a Memorial and Tribute

Creating a tribute or memorial page allows friends and family to honor someone who has been affected by diabetes. Your page will share their legacy and your support will make a difference in our vision of a life free of diabetes.

Participate in a Community Event

Other ways to get involved include participating with family and friends in person or virtually at one of our many community fundraising events, such as Tour de Cure® and Step Out® Walk. 

Tour de Cure® Step Out® Walk  


If there is no community event that you can travel to or you wish to do something close to home, you can create your own community walk, run, or cycling event or choose another way to get active in support of people living with diabetes. Select Choose Your Move below to create your event.
