Being diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes 9 years ago at the age of 33, I was determined to do what it took to combat this horrible disease. With the help of my friend Alan Pohoryles, we began having a charity golf tournament, the Tommy Joe's - Jon Lowe Charity Invitational Golf Classic, with the intentions to raise money & awareness to further our cause. After 8 years of incredible success, the Tommy Joe's-Jo Lowe Foundation Inc., a 501c3 tax entity was born. Given the epidemic proportions of diabetes, we can't afford to stop the promising research being done to prevent, treat & move closer to a cure. Your donation enhances programs assisting communities by providing money for diabetes-specific research that leads to better treatments for diabetes & its
complications. Donations provide resources to help translate that science into practice in such a way that can be used in local communities. These results have led to healthier lives for the people reached by these vital programs.
