Sneaker Friday is back on 15 November! Sneaker Friday is a fundraising event that happens during Diabetes Action Month, and encourages New Zealanders to support young people living with diabetes.
As well as getting your sneakers on, you can also 'do something blue' to raise money, as blue is the global colour for diabetes awareness.
It's easy to get involved!
- Simply wear your sneakers on Sneaker Friday or organise a 'blue' event
- Check out Sneaker Friday events near you and join in!
- Once you've collected the money you've raised, donate online to support Kiwis living with diabetes (link to donate live in November)
You can take part either individually or as a team by wearing your sneakers to work, to school or to play on Friday 15 November - or any date that suits you in November. If you need help planning your event, email us: fundraising@diabetes.org.nz
Join Sneaker Friday here and follow the instructions.
You can also sign up to take part in one of the events happening around the country, because being active is key to the prevention of diabetes and to help those living with diabetes to manage the condition. Check back here for a list of events as we get closer to November.
Our mission is to support all New Zealanders to live well with diabetes, but we can’t do this without the help of generous, supportive and helpful Kiwis like you. So kick the work shoes off and put your sneakers on!
