School Walk for Diabetes Program

The American Diabetes Association (ADA) is the nation's leading nonprofit health organization providing diabetes research, information and advocacy. School Walk for Diabetes (SWFD) is a K-12 educational fund-raising program that teaches students the benefits of healthy living, community service and school spirit while raising money for the ADA.

Ignite! Learning and the ADA share a passion for helping students improve their lives. Together, we are producing a remarkable curriculum to be used in the SWFD Program.
