When you're part of a fully-remote org and were in the path of this weekend's storm, you do what's necessary to keep your dog happy and able to get his energy out so you can work! Smokey the Terrier mix in his snow maze sporting ADA colors...

It's the most wonderful time for Year-End town halls and team meetings. Our Science & Health Care team came together virtually to celebrate 2025 successes and enjoy each other's company with some fun activities to wrap up the year. Being a fully remote organization creates some great screen-grab opportunities!

Megyn Byrnes, our Executive Director in the Chicago area, was recently interviewed on Fox32 Chicago talking about our local Tour de Cure fundraising event and the fight to end diabetes. The Chicagoland Tour de Cure took place on August 9 under blue skies and with tons of energy and enthusiasm from our riders and supporters. More Tour de Cures and Step Out Walks are coming very soon over the next few months. Come out and support our team and the fight to end diabetes at an event near you: https://diabetes.org/events/calendar-events

The fourth annual New Orleans Kiss a Pig gala was held on Saturday, July 26. Hundreds of guests, including CEO Chuck Henderson, enjoyed an evening of dinner, dancing, live entertainment, auctions and the infamous pig kissing ceremony. The black-tie event honors the role pigs played in diabetes treatment. All proceeds from the gala support the ADA’s mission to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes. Each year, industry leaders unite to celebrate the candidates who have been raising funds throughout the year for diabetes research. Ten candidates are selected to participate in the event. Each candidate runs a peer-to-peer fundraising campaign, and the top fundraiser earns the privilege of kissing a pig at the event. This year’s top fundraiser was Todd Jabbia of Walmart. The 2025 mission speaker was Dr. Brantlee McConaughey, a senior fellow in Pediatric Endocrinology at LSU Health Sciences Center in New Orleans. He volunteers in the local community and spends time as part of the medical staff for diabetes camp. Dr. McConaughey served as Medical Director for the ADA's Camp Journey -located in Louisiana - in 2025. Photo credit: Jim Ezell, EZ Event Photography
