Baton Rouge, La – The Southern University Ag Center participated
in the STOP Diabetes Walk October 20, 2012. Team SU Ag Center stepped out onto
the streets to help change the diabetes growing epidemic. The goal of the walk
is to raise awareness and funds towards preventing and curing this deadly
disease. The SU Ag Center team showed up and collected more than $2,600 for the
event. All proceeds go to the American Diabetes Association. The walk took
place at Pennington Biomedical Research Center.
“This is an exceptional year for our team. The support is
amazing. By yesterday, we placed third in contribution level. I’m really having
a great day,” said Erica William, Team SU Ag Center Leader. The team highly
appreciates everyone who showed support, morally, financially, or otherwise.
This annual event is organized by the American Diabetes
Association whose mission is to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the
lives of all people affected by diabetes.
