DFI Takes Part in NYSE Closing Bell

Executive Director, Roberta Schmidt, and Board of Trustees President, Michael Sullivan took part in the New York Stock Exchange Closing Bell  Ceremony at 4:00 pm on Thursday, December 29, 2011. In appreciation of their continual financial support and working relationship with Camp Nejeda, the Diabetes Foundation was asked to share the podium for this time-honored tradition. The DFI provides funding to send needy children from the tri-state area to Camp Nejeda, a co-ed diabetes camp in Sussex County, NJ.  The opportunity to spend time with peers, enjoy traditional camp activities and learn more about how to take care of their condition has an enormous positive impact on the lives of children with diabetes – a few weeks of not feeling “different” than anyone else.
