American Diabetes Association, former Seahawk join local Boys & Girls Clubs to address diabetes epidemic - Lynnwood Today

The American Diabetes Association (ADA) has announced a partnership with the Boys & Girls Club of Snohomish County and the Cliff Avril Family Foundation to address the diabetes epidemic in the local community through an initiative called Project Power. This program is designed to provide education, resources, and support to young people, equipping them with the knowledge to manage and prevent diabetes effectively. Former Seattle Seahawk Cliff Avril is actively participating in the initiative, aiming to raise awareness and support for diabetes prevention among children and teens. The collaboration emphasizes the critical role that community organizations play in promoting health and wellness. Participants will engage in a variety of activities that encourage healthier lifestyle choices and provide them with the tools to combat diabetes.

The initiative reflects a growing recognition of the need for community-driven solutions to public health challenges. By fostering partnerships like this, organizations can create a more significant impact on public health outcomes. The project not only benefits the youth involved but also aims to inspire broader community engagement in health initiatives.
