Carolina Diabetic Supply, Inc. serves as the official sponsor of the J. Anthony Brown Diabetes Foundation, a not-for-profit organization based in Columbia, South Carolina. The Foundation is the brainchild of J. Anthony Brown, comedian, actor, and co-host of the Tom Joyner Morning Show, and was formed to promote diabetes awareness, early diagnosis, and treatment. As a result of this collaborative effort with the Foundation, Mr. Brown, a diabetic and Columbia native, has become our spokesperson.

During the past year, CDSI has co-sponsored the Foundation's 1st Annual Sugarless Ball, held in November 2004, and the 1st Annual J. Anthony Brown Diabetes Foundation Celebrity Golf Tournament, held in April 2005, at the Ft. Jackson Golf Course. The Sugarless Ball, which coincided with National Diabetes Month, raised money for children with diabetes to attend Camp Adam Fisher, where children from ages 6-16 years learn how to manage their condition and enjoy activities such as sailing, canoeing, horseback riding, kayaking, among others.

We certainly believe in playing a vital role in the community. Sponsoring the Foundation is just one way that we are involved in the lives of our patients and our community.
