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.
