We invite all schools in Arkansas to join us in our School Walk for Diabetes (SWFD) program. SWFD is a K-12 educational fund-raising program that teaches students the benefits of healthy living, community service and school spirit while raising money for the American Diabetes Association.
Through SWFD, you have the ability to improve the health of your school community:
-Earn up to 15 percent back for school medical supplies and PE equipment.
-Educate your school community about type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
-Teach educational lessons that align with National PE and Health Standards.
-Promote continued healthy living and activity through thank you gifts.
-Raise money to support the mission of the American Diabetes Association -- to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes.
-Give students an opportunity to show their school spirit and earn community service hours.
If you would like to find out more about this program or to register your school, please contact the ADA's Arkansas School Walk Coordinator at
