SSU Upward Bound Support Fight Against Diabetes

The SSU Upward Bound Program and the Upward Bound Parent Association exceeded their fundraising goal for the fight against diabetes. Upward Bound is a division of TRIO and supports high school students with the transition to college. This fall, Upward Bound dedicated itself to diabetes awareness. They set a goal of $250 and were thrilled to have quadrupled that amount by the morning of the walk. During the morning of the walk the Upward Bound program was awarded the GOLD Champion medallion for raising more than $1,000.00.

In the weeks following the walk, Upward Bound continued to fundraise to support the fight against diabetes. The campaign has now raised $1643.00. These generous donations will assist in the continuation of important research and awareness efforts.
