Did You Know?

RAWS started with snacks!

The very first “Diabetes is NOT Sweet” event at Michigan State University included a Do-It-Yourself trail mix snack bar and refreshments to attract attendees. Little did we know this would lead to a nationwide movement for diabetes awareness!

Global Reach:

RAWS has expanded its impact not only in Michigan but also internationally, partnering with schools as far as Nigeria to spread health education.

Our Diabetes Awareness Workbook is everywhere!

What started as a simple educational tool is now in line for distribution at over 39,000 retailers and libraries worldwide and online through places like Amazon.

RAWS Jrs. isn’t just about learning—

Our student cohort has traveled to places like Chicago, Kansas City, and even the March on Washington to build awareness and make memories!

Not all our events are “serious”

—From golf fundraisers to pink carpet outings for breast cancer awareness, RAWS makes advocacy engaging and enjoyable for everyone involved!
