FY06 Corporate Recognition Program

---

Working together with corporate America helps the American Diabetes Association (ADA) achieve its mission by extending our reach and reinforcing our messages. The Corporate Recognition Program, "Making a Difference" is our way of spotlighting those companies that support this important health issue through research grants, sponsorships, cause-marketing programs, corporate teams, exhibits and advertising.

Based on a company's cumulative annual support, our sponsors are awarded one of seven designated levels of recognition. We are proud to recognize the following companies that joined the ADA in 2006 in our fight against diabetes.
