Point supports the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation

Our Brisbane Point office has adopted the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) as their charity of choice and has been assisting in the project management of the annual Walk to Cure Diabetes event in Brisbane on 30 October 2011. Our staff have been involved with the selection of the park, submission of permits and applications, booking of vendors, entertainment and other logistic functions.

Each year the JDRF holds a Walk to Cure Diabetes event in every major Australian city. The charity walk is the primary fundraising event for this very worthwhile charity and also acts as the foundation’s key social event. On the day of the walk, our staff will be joining in to help organise the activity as well as enjoying being amongst such a vibrant community.

Type 1 Diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases in children, it occurs more frequently than cancer, cystic fibrosis, multiple sclerosis and muscular dystrophy. Over 120,000 Australians suffer from Type 1 Diabetes. Through the excellent work of organisations such as the JDRF, researchers are steadily closing in on a cure for this debilitating disease.  Our Brisbane office is extremely proud of their association with the JDRF.
