Striking a Pose for a Good Cause

On March 26, the Diabetes Foundation hosted its annual Ultimate Fashion Show and Champagne Brunch at the Country Club of Jackson. Bringing friendly faces and the most fashionable styles together, the Ultimate Fashion Show was the talk of the town!

More important than the beautiful clothes, delicious quiche, fabulous giveaways and gorgeous spring weather, though, is that so many people come out to show their support for the DFM and its dedication to helping make Mississippi a healthier place.

So, not only was the Ultimate Fashion a big hit on the runway, but behind
the scenes, as well. Somewhere in Mississippi, a family is learning how to test their child's blood sugar on the new meter provided to them by the DFM. Somewhere in Mississippi, a child's school has an emergency preparedness box to help them prevent diabetes emergencies. Somewhere in Mississippi, an individual with nowhere to turn grabs the helping hand of the DFM and receives life-saving medications. All across Mississippi, people are being screened for diabetes and are being sent risk tests and other diabetes literature, because until there's a cure, education is needed for today.

Thank you, Mississippi, for supporting the DFM and, more importantly, for extending a hand to your neighbors in need.
