2007 was the year that Bid4aCure was formed.  During that year’s June charity drive we raised over L$ 300,000 (Linden Dollars) for diabetes research and donations of US$650.00 and £310.00 (British Pounds) were made to the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and DiabetesUK by Jocelyn Sands (who supplemented the ADA donation) on behalf of Bid4aCure.  

In 2008 Bid4aCure raised over a million Lindens to Benefit Diabetes Research and subsequently the real-world amounts of £1000.00 was donated to DiabetesUK and US$2,281.00 was donated to the American Diabetes Association.               

In 2009 Bid4aCure raised L$1,785,236; the most our effort has ever raised to date. Real-world currency donations in the amounts of US$3,437 and £2,092 were paid to the American Diabetes Association and DiabetesUK respectively on 7/7/09. 

In 2010 Bid4aCure raised L$ 915,100; a remarkable feat given the ongoing economic turmoil that so many are enduring. Real-world currency donations in the amounts of US$1689 and £1063 have been forwarded to the American Diabetes Association and DiabetesUK respectively.  We have posted copies of the acknowledgement letters from both organizations to the right.

In 2011 Bid4aCure raised L$ 1,007,360 (US$3904.50); the second best year since the effort began in 2007 and a stunning and unexpected surprise since so many people are dealing with the continuing global economic woes being faced today. Real-world currency donations in the amounts of US$1952 and £1265 have been forwarded to the American Diabetes Association and DiabetesUK respectively.  We have posted copies of the acknowledgement letters from both organizations to the right.
