Giving Back

At The Grand America, giving back to the community is a big part of what we do. In 2009, we began our support of the Utah Chapter of Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, a foundation whose mission is dedicated to finding a cure. By bringing awareness to this important cause, our goal is to accelerate more quickly toward the discovery of a cure and help support our local Utah children who bravely suffer each day.
The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International (JDRF) is the worldwide leader in funding research to cure type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune disease that strikes children and adults suddenly and lasts a lifetime. JDRF sets the global agenda for diabetes research and is the largest charitable funder of and advocate for diabetes science worldwide.
JDRF’s mission has been constant since it was founded four decades ago: to find a cure for type 1 diabetes and its complications through the support of research. Until a cure is found, JDRF is also committed to working tirelessly to develop new and better treatments to improve the lives of people who have type 1 diabetes and keep them as healthy as possible.
Today, people with type 1 diabetes rely on insulin to manage the disease. But insulin is not a cure, nor does it prevent the possibility of the disease’s devastating effects, which can include kidney failure, blindness, heart disease, stroke, amputation, and pregnancy complications. JDRF is dedicated to finding a cure for
type 1 diabetes and removing the burdens and threats the disease carries. Learn More
