LILLYLULU FOUNDATION

Who We Are

​

In the Fall of 2015, Team Lillylulu was formed as a walk team, a fundraising team and volunteer vehicle to support JDRF, a leading organization that harnesses the power of research, advocacy and community engagement to advance life changing breakthroughs for Type One Diabetes (TD1). Over the following five years, Team Lillylulu transformed into an advocacy and awareness team, a fishing team (Big Game Battle), and a 100 mile Trek team through its formation of the Dad’s 100 Mile Trek in partnership with No Wake Lifestyle (www.nowakelifestyle.com) on Cape Cod all of which translated to fundraising and personal donating of over $3,000,000 toward T1D causes. This includes the participation in the T1D Fund (www.t1dfund.org), a venture philanthropy fund focused on advancing private and public investment to create a market in T1D and attract the investment required to find a cure for T1D.

 

While the disruption of COVID-19 curtailed our 100 Mile Trek platform, it did not dampen our passion to make an impact. In 2022, the decision was made to form the Lillylulu Foundation, a 501c3 public charity that would allow for greater direct investment and impact for the T1D cause. In going back to our roots as a fishing team, the Lillylulu Foundation is excited to partner with NCO as well as local business leaders and philanthropists to launch the charity

program for the Monomoy Shootout focused on T1D.

 

Our Mission

​

The Lillylulu Foundation is a 100% volunteer based 501c3 public charity that has been created to harness the generosity and focus of a group of T1D donors and influencers to have an efficient, meaningful and direct impact on the T1D community. The impact we strive for is to be a contributor to finding a cure through research and to address systematic deficiencies in care (physical and mental) by improving outcomes for those diagnosed with

T1D. As parents and friends of T1D’s, our mission is rooted in “Areas of Focus” that we intend to provide directed giving. We believe that providing direct gifts in focused initiatives will allow the Lillylulu Foundation to use its strengths of PASSION and DISCIPLINE to monitor the intended and actionable outcomes of those we choose to partner with. We will seek out partners and organizations that we believe are underfunded within our “Areas of

Focus” to create relationships that allow us to drive influence and positive outcomes for our T1D community. Making as great an impact as possible is at the core of why the Lillylulu Foundation has been created by the family and friends of a T1D young lady named Lilly. Our “Areas of Focus” are: Research (Cure and Treatment), Basic Physical and Psychosocial Care & Support of the Underprivileged and Diverse populations; Endocrinologist & Nurse Advancement & Education and, of course, Advocacy.
