Looking for a way to get your church more involved and have a healthier congregation? We are asking our faith partners to jump into action and help us spread the word about this important health event by:

• Hosting a Registration night at your church. The Association will send paper registration forms and diabetes information to display so that your members can get enrolled with all the information they need to attend EXPO.
• Use your church bus to drop off your members at EXPO. Parking for a bus is only $30 at McCormick Place and is a great option for large groups.
• Add information about EXPO in your church bulletin during the months of March and April.

Sign up your church to participate and earn cool prizes such as: a free cookbook or a Life Fitness kit valued at over $350 and includes: a yoga mat, resistance tubes, resistance rings, heart rate/pedometer watch, non-rolling balance ball, exercise video, hand weights and double-grip medicine ball.

For more info on how your church can participate in EXPO Chicago 2013, contact Sheena Bryant at shbryant@diabetes.org or 312-346-1805 ext. 6571.

Thank you to our proud supporter of the Stop Diabetes Movement.
