Diabetes Epidemic in New Mexico:

About 12.3% of the population has been diagnosed with diabetes and nearly half a million people have not yet been diagnosed.
11% of Dona Ana County has diagnosed diabetes. Surrounding counties average between 10% and 16%.
The state of New Mexico is currently facing a physician shortage. Many southern counties have a physician-to-patient ratio of 1 to 2,000.

Our goal for El Paso Giving Day is to raise crucial funds to allow us to grow our existing education programs and kids camp. Please consider joining us in addressing the pressing issue of diabetes in our community. Diabetes affects thousands of individuals through the Paso del Norte region, and we believe that with collective effort we can make a positive impact.
