You may recall a guest-post last August from Michael K. Schwab, a fellow Person With Diabetes in central Indiana who created what became known as the Beta Cell Bash.
Founded by Mike in 2004 along with Greg and Tracie Mrakich (who are also type 1 D-musicians here locally), the bash was created to raise awareness and money through music and art to improve the lives of those affected with type 1 diabetes.
Well, the Beta Cell Bash went to the curb a handful of years ago. But thanks to some prompting from The D-Corner Booth
, Mike decided to bring back the Beta Cell Bash for 2012. That is happening this Friday, March 2.
If you can't attend, please consider buying a $10 virtual ticket to show your support. Or you can make a donation for whatever amount your heart desires. Either way, go here: http://tinyurl.com/BetaCellBashTickets.
Sponsorship opportunities also exist for you or those you might know. Not to mention volunteering the night of the event, or even helping to distribute flyers to promote Beta Cell Bash.
Being the online age that we are, there's of course the ability to check out the Beta Cell Bash Facebook Page.
