Diabetes touches nearly every Michigan family — and you can help change the story.
This Giving Blueday, your support for the Caswell Diabetes Institute’s Community Seminar Series brings hope and knowledge directly to our neighbors.
Over a million Michiganders live with diabetes, and nearly one in three adults are at risk. Michigan’s diabetes rates are among the nation’s highest. The impact on families is profound, especially in underserved communities where access to health education is limited.
Our Seminar Series is not just about lectures — it’s about connection and empowerment. We bring world-class scientists, caring physicians, and inspiring community voices straight to libraries across Southeast Michigan.
These lively, interactive forums invite everyone to participate: ask questions, share experiences, and find real understanding. Topics include the latest technology, new therapies, nutrition advice, prevention strategies, and more. Each session is recorded and shared freely, so no one is left out.
Why does it matter? Diabetes is the 8th leading cause of death in Michigan, and underserved communities are hit hardest. Many Michiganders don’t receive culturally relevant, actionable information that can prevent or manage diabetes. Education is proven to reduce risk and empower those living with the disease. By supporting our seminars, you help close gaps in access, empower families to make informed choices, and connect individuals to life-saving resources.
How your gift helps:
- Expands our program to more communities
- Provides materials, expert speakers, and support for participants
- Ensures sessions are recorded, shared, and accessible to all
Diabetes isn’t just a statistic — it’s real people, real families. By joining us this Giving Blue Day, you fuel change, compassion, and a sense of community. Your gift helps turn knowledge into action and hope into healthier futures across Michigan.
Give today and help us build a Michigan where everyone has the tools to fight (and win!) against diabetes.
