Fight It! Fri: The AID

Since its inception in 2007, Diabetic Rockstar Inc.'s Fight It! Campaign has distributed more than $12,000 worth of aid to newly diagnosed, uninsured and/or financially struggling diabetics. We have sent over 400 free glucose testing meters, and forged partnerships with many companies and non-profits, all in an effort to Fight For Those Waiting For A Cure.

The Fight It! Campaign is a grassroots charity endeavor, the first program developed by Diabetic Rockstar Inc and the focal point of our organization's incorporation as a non-profit.

Donations raised on FIGHT IT! FRIDAY will be used for the following expenditures:

* The purchasing of vital diabetes management products, including testing strips, syringes, pump supplies, insulin and more, for distribution in aid packages to qualifying/chosen families affected by diabetes

* Reimbursement for unexpected expenses incurred by financially struggling diabetics/their families; this includes medical bills associated with emergency, in-patient and out-patient medical care brought on by diabetes and/or complications of diabetes

* Shipping and insurance expenses associated with distribution of aid packages

* Legal costs associated with insuring all aid is distributed fairly and lawfully

The $4,000 financial objective of FIGHT IT! FRIDAY was the result of factoring in the expected expense to achieve the stated purpose of this day. In the result that FIGHT IT! FRIDAY raises more than $4,000, the Diabetic Rockstar organization will use the additional funds for any of following purposes:

* To award additional aid to qualifying families/individuals

* To purchase diabetes management supplies at reduced and bulk rates for the purpose of helping more people through the Fight It! Campaign in the future

* To continue the development of the Diabetic Rockstar Mentoring Program

* To spread awareness of diabetes and the financial costs associated with management
