American Diabetes Association-School Walk for Diabetes

In 2004, ARAMARK Corporation announced a partnership with the American Diabetes Association (ADA). The ARAMARK Charitable Fund, a philanthropic fund created by ARAMARK Corporation, will donate $1 million over five years to the ADA Research Foundation to help fund research into childhood obesity. Separately, ARAMARK proudly supports of the School Walk for Diabetes(SWFD).

The ADA is the nation's leading voluntary health organization supporting diabetes research, information and advocacy. With more than 200,000 youths and another 18 million adults with diabetes, SWFD is a critical initiative to increase awareness in our community. The event raises funds to help continue the important initiatives of the ADA.

As part of ARAMARK's commitment to raising nutrition awareness, we encourage our foodservice directors to support the ADA 's School Walk for Diabetes (SWFD) campaign - an educational school fund-raising program that promotes community service, school spirit and healthy living to students. This is a great supplement to the nutrition awareness programs we offer districts. SWFD helps raise awareness for diabetes, promotes healthy eating and physical activity to school children nationwide, and gives schools a chance to earn much-needed vouchers toward the purchase of physical education equipment and school medical supplies.
