Our Owen's Heroes Lacrosse Tournaments and events have continue to raise money thanks to the amazing families, friends, coaches, and players. Over the past few years, we have been able to sponsor local area families to send their T1D child to "Florida Diabetes Summer Camp".
This past summer, our charity sponsored several kids that attended both the youth and teen camps across Florida. Owen was able to attend the 5 night sleep away with some of the other sponsored kids. He had an absolute blast and became friends with other Type 1 children.
If you are unfamiliar with this camp, please take time to learn about the amazing things they do! Please visit http://floridadiabetescamp.org/about-us/
Florida Diabetes Camp is much more than just “camp.” In addition to the usual recreational activities associated with camping, scheduled diabetes education sessions are conducted by pediatric endocrinologists and diabetes educators at all programs. Caring individuals provide motivation and support for the children to learn self-care, independence in diabetes management and good self-esteem.
We will be sponsoring children and teens in 2024. We will update our site when info is availalble
