October 23, 2011 - Each year, ProDirect participates in their own fall classic - the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation walk in Central New Jersey. "Our company and my own family are behind the JDRF for all that they do" said ProDirect's president Bill Walton. "The JDRF has one of the lowest expense-to applied-research contribution ratios among viable causes and at the end of the day, kids with Type 1 Diabetes will benefit".  Walton sits on the Central Jersey board of the JDRF and is orchestrating the JDRF's messaging among local employers. Founded in 1970, the Mid-Jersey Chapter of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) is one of the oldest chapters. It serves six New Jersey counties: Middlesex, Mercer, Somerset, Hunterdon, Morris and Hudson.  The chapter provides valuable information about juvenile diabetes to people with diabetes, their families and the general public. The chapter holds numerous successful events that raise much-needed funds for diabetes research. "Thank you to all of our clients, colleagues and friends that supported us in the walk this year. Our families greatly appreciate it" Walton added. 

Each year the chapter conducts their walk at Rutgers' Cook Campus in South Brunswick.To learn more, visit the JDRF's website at http://www.jdrf.org/index.cfm?page_id=111649 .
