Diabetic Youth Foundation

Our mission is to enhance the quality of life for individuals who have or are affected by insulin-dependent diabetes. This is accomplished by showing children with diabetes that they can live full and productive lives by learning how to manage and control their diabetes, rather than letting the diabetes control their lives. Founded in 1938 by Mary B. Olney, M.D., as a non-profit, tax-exempt organization, the Diabetic Youth Foundation was created to provide recreational and educational experiences for children with diabetes. It was Dr. Olney's vision to teach children with diabetes how to live healthy lives. These goals are accomplished through the annual Bearskin Meadow Camp for diabetic children and their parents. However, our commitment doesn't end there. In addition to the camp, the Diabetic youth Foundation also provides year-round information and referral services to families with children who are diagnosed with diabetes throughout California.
