Barton Center for Diabetes Education

Supporting children & families who live with diabetes

Mission

The Barton Center for Diabetes Education is one of the largest independent camping and educational programs in the country dedicated to children who live with diabetes and the people who care for them. The focus of their programs is fun and support; the goal is to educate children and their families on managing the daily rigors of diabetes, so that they can live fuller and healthier lives.

Why It Matters

The Barton Center was not able to hold any programs in 2020 due to Covid and heavily relies on donations not only for the scholarships for the children to attend but also for most of the medical supplies that the children have (insulin, insulin pump supplies, low blood sugar treatment). LEWIS is proud to help the Barton Center raise awareness and funds.
