About The Guild

Volunteer for this type 1 friendly Halloween celebration. Hundreds of children and their families are invited to this annual costume party to enjoy pizza, carnival games, a DJ, face painting, and a pumpkin decorating contest.

Help procure and pick up auction items for the silent auctions, Dine -N’ Dash cards, and bottles or cases of wine for the wine pull.  

This committee develops and implements ways to educate people about type 1 diabetes through event tabling, distribution of materials, speaking engagements and community health events both in the community and at the BDC.

This program was formed to provide uninsured or underinsured pediatric patients of the BDC with medical supplies, accommodation and travel for appointments, emergency care, and other needs. The program also provides funding for the annual Holiday Assistance event that offers meal and gift assistance for patients and their siblings during the holiday season, as well as educational and emotional support workshops for patients and their families. Committee members work closely with BDC social workers in this program to understand their needs and how they can best support them.

This program provides financial support for pregnant women with type 1 diabetes to ensure they have the proper technology, supplies, and associated appointment funds to ensure a healthy pregnancy and baby. It also serves at-risk pregnant women who do not have access to Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) systems and provides other related resources to improve their diabetes care. Committee members work closely with the pregnancy clinic team to understand their needs and how they can best support them. 

The dedicated Jewels for Hope Committee collects pre-loved jewelry (fine and costume) and handbags. Members help sort, price, and prepare donated items to sell at pop-up boutiques throughout the year, as well as at the Brass Ring Luncheon and Carousel of Hope Gala. Since its inception in 2004, JFH has raised over $500,000 to help support Guild programs and type 1 patients.

Help grow The Guild and ensure its legacy lasts for generations to come by planning new membership events, recruiting and welcoming new members, and answering questions they may have. Those on the membership committee are the first to ensure the smooth transition of new members into meaningful contributions to The Guild in a way that suits both their passions and the organization’s needs.

Every summer, Guild members support the Run for the Ring 5K & Kids Fun Run. This event welcomes hundreds of loyal supporters and fitness enthusiasts together to walk, run, and raise funds to honor our type 1 heroes. In addition to the 5K and Fun Run, attendees are treated to an exhibitor village and Fun Zone for kids with activities such as hamster balls, a water maze, and face painting. A foam party awaits all race finishers.

Volunteer at these 3-day camps which are hosted by the Colorado Soccer Foundation for children with type 1. Camps feature soccer, arts and crafts, team-building activities, and more! Healthcare providers from the BDC are on site to help manage diabetes and answer parent questions. Volunteers help with the event including preparing crafts and meals.
