A11 FOR 1
The 11th day of each month is a special day for us. We call it "A11 for 1."
On this day each month, we donate 100% of our website profits to the Skin Grip Scholarship Fund,
supporting students living with Type 1 diabetes.
We chose the 11th for a couple of reasons:
01.
On January 11, 1922 insulin was first used in the treatment of diabetes by Frederick Banting. We want our donations to further the cause of making insulin affordable for all + finding a cure.
2.
There isn’t a day of the month with more 1’s in it than the 11th. We believe this is a great day to celebrate the amazing Type 1 diabetics all over the world. Many suffer in the shadows and we hope to help bring more awareness any way that we can.
about the scholarship
Living with diabetes can make everyday activities more challenging due to the need to manage blood glucose levels. High costs of healthcare, insulin, diabetes devices, and supplies only make things more difficult.
Students living with diabetes have to deal with all this and more — often living away from home, feeling pressure to get good grades, and working tirelessly to pay for school.
Regardless of these challenges, individuals with diabetes rise to the occasion. They are some of the strongest people in the world. Not only do they face these challenges — they conquer them.
We built the SkinGrip Scholarship Fund to recognize that resilience and help ease the financial load, even a little.
