Children's
Hospital Pediatric Diabetes Program
Charity Event: MidMoBRR
Amount raised: $6500 (past BRR rides and Ironman Arizona)
 Each
year, thousands of children in the United States are diagnosed with
diabetes. At the Children’s Hospital at University Hospital and Clinics,
the pediatric diabetes team assists children throughout Missouri
and surrounding states who have been diagnosed with diabetes by teaching
them and their families how to successfully manage their disease.
The Pediatric Diabetes Program at Mizzou Children’s Hospital remains
one of the nationwide leaders in providing quality care to children
with diabetes. Its renowned reputation is founded upon decades of
research and landmark discoveries in the area of pediatric diabetes,
led by Dr. Robert L. Jackson and Dr. David Goldstein, who are both
well-known leaders in the field.
The
education and care offered by the Pediatric Diabetes Program to children
and their families is an invaluable resource to those in Columbia,
and across the country.

Columbia Second Chance
Charity Event: XCXtreme & Paws in Park
Amount raised: $4400
 Columbia
Second Chance was founded in 1985 as a privately-funded, all-volunteer organization
dedicated to "seeking first-class homes for second-hand pets." Through
the kindness of our volunteers and our foster homes, we care for animals of
all types, either on a temporary basis while we search for a new, permanent
home, or on a long-term basis while the animal is treated for illness or injury.
Our mission is to provide for the benevolent relief of unwanted
animals. The organization will provide food, shelter, medical assistance,
and general relief to those animals that have been made homeless
through the acts or omissions of people; to provide this care for
each animal while researching and approving permanent adoptive homes;
to educate the public regarding the health, exercise, and general
needs of these animals, as well as to the necessity of spaying and
neutering as a means of alleviating the burden of unwanted animals;
and to do every act as may be necessary to aid and assist the community
in providing quality, permanent homes for these animals and to promote
the goals and gains of this mission.
