2023 Diabetes Hope Scholarship Recipients
CELEBRATING 25 YEARS OF HOPE
Thank you to each and every one of you who helped celebrate Diabetes Hope Foundation’s 25th Anniversary, honouring this year’s 48 stellar scholarship recipients and cheering on our alumni with the Celebration of Hope event. Our hybrid event, held both virtually and at Bayview Golf & Country Club, was a huge success.
We are grateful to our Board of Directors, Scholarship Advisory Committee, colleagues, donors, partners, alumni, families, volunteers and healthcare practitioners for your dedication and commitment to supporting today’s transitioning youth with diabetes.
