Girl Power Recap: Swimming, Snacks and Low Kits

Our quarterly Girl Power event was an incredible way for the T1D girls to connect. They swam, had ice cream and snacks, played board games, and built low blood sugar kits.

The Girl Power program, launched in 2024, brings together girls living with Type 1 Diabetes for quarterly events and activities. It’s designed to create connection and friendship through shared experiences — events are led by teen volunteers living with Type 1 Diabetes and fully subsidized by Elbowbumpkid Inc.

Thank you, teen volunteers

Special thanks to Girl Power teen volunteers Amelie, Audrey, Becca and Maren for planning and making sure everyone had fun. Parents connected on the sidelines while the girls created lasting relationships — exactly what this program is all about.
