On Wednesday, September 23, St. Henry District High School volleyball takes on Holy Cross - and every serve, set, and dig supports the Type 1 Diabetes community.

Digging for Diabetes is our new T1D awareness night, and proceeds benefit T1D Warriors, a local 501(c)(3) nonprofit supporting Type 1 Diabetes families right here in Northern Kentucky.

Type 1 Diabetes is an autoimmune disease. It can't be prevented, it isn't caused by anything you eat, and there is no cure. About 300,000 kids in America live with it - including student athletes at both of our schools. They check blood sugar, count carbs, and dose insulin every single day, then step on the court and compete. This night is for them.

Match schedule: Freshman 5:30 PM | JV 6:30 PM | Varsity 7:45 PM, with a pre-match ceremony recognizing our T1D students and families.

How your donation helps: Every dollar raised here fuels T1D Warriors programs that create immediate change:

Warrior Watch puts free emergency kits and quick training into schools and sports teams - so when a kid goes low on the field, the coach knows exactly what to do.
Warrior Start walks newly diagnosed families through that terrifying first year, step by step, beginning with a free care package at their door. Because nobody should face day one alone.
Warrior Circle, our newest program, watches a kid's glucose around the clock. When it drops, it texts a circle of trusted people, one after another, until someone answers. A low never goes unnoticed.

More ways to give at the game: Grab a $10 event t-shirt, play Chuck-a-Duck, enter the split-the-pot raffle, order a yard sign honoring your T1D Warrior, and add a name to our Honor Wall.

Wear your shirt. Pack the gym. Support our Warriors.
