This week is Diabetes Awareness Week, and the Diabetes Advisory Board (DAB), an organization for students who may have diabetes or family members with diabetes and students majoring in health care who want to learn more about the disease, is selling orange bracelets on campus.

The bracelets are $3 each or two for $5. All proceeds go to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF).

The bracelets will be on sale today through Thursday, Nov. 5, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Today, tomorrow and Thursday DAB members will be selling the bracelets on the pedestrian walkway near the seal. On Wednesday, they will be set-up in Presidential Courtyard.

For more information about DAB and the bracelets, e-mail abunch@utk.edu or mcantwe1@utk.edu. For more information about JDRF, visit the foundation’s Web site.
