Community Connections & Support, Event subsidies

Elbowbumpkid Inc raises critical funds that subsidize education events, local community events, a scholarship grant for high school senior with Type 1 as well as partnerships for local camps and initiatives that support the community.

Elbowbumpkid Inc is a completely volunteer board, every penny we raise goes towards programs for families in CT impacted by Type 1 Diabetes.

We created Elbowbumpkid Inc due to the gap in our community-so many disease states have nonprofits that fundraise for a cure but there is less of a focus on caring for the community and establishing relationships with families that share the same journey. That's where we come in.
