Tee Up Raises $230,000 for T1D Research
Caption: Sponsors and friends of Tee Up gather to celebrate the achievement of $230,000 raised at this year’s event and present the checks to JDRF and Children’s Wisconsin.
On November 17, representatives from JDRF and the Max McGee Center at Children’s Wisconsin received checks amounting to a remarkable $230,000, which were raised at the 2022 Tee Up Fore the Cure event. This contribution serves as a new record, highlighting the immense support provided for T1D research.
Moreover, Tee Up Fore the Cure achieved a significant milestone by surpassing the $1 million mark in funds raised for T1D research since its inception in 2006.
The McGee Center will use their allocated funds to acquire an upgraded Keyence Microscope, along with a new ultracold freezer. Additionally, the funds earmarked for JDRF will be directed to the New England Center of Excellence, where three ongoing research projects are focused on the pursuit of a T1D cure.
About Tee Up Fore the Cure
Diabetes research is a cause close to the heart of the Leef family and ITU AbsorbTech. George L. Leef, ITU AbsorbTech’s second-generation president, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 1929, shortly after the discovery of insulin. With the help of exercise and diet management, George lived a full life with the aid of hundreds of thousands of blood checks and shots. He suffered from diabetic neuropathy for years before passing away in 2007.
Throughout his life, George demonstrated remarkable generosity by contributing to diabetes research. He was a compassionate and dedicated family man, touching the lives of all who were fortunate enough to know him. In honor of George’s passion for the game, the inaugural Tee Up Fore the Cure was held in 2006.

CDM Tool has been using ITU for a long time. They have dedicated drivers. Bob our driver knows our company so well, he is able to tell based on our supply's that are used how business is going. He then adjusts so we don't overpay. The best part is that they don't create more work for me. We have never had an issue with lost uniforms.read more
