Former Titans Cheerleader Chaka Jackson Raises Diabetes Awareness with TV Station WKRN
Sip & Paint Fundraiser Amplifies the Message: "Survive and Thrive"
In a remarkable effort to bring awareness to the diabetes community, Chaka Jackson, the President and Founder of Diabetic Social and a former Titans cheerleader, recently sat down with TV station WKRN for an enlightening interview. The main topic was the upcoming 2nd Annual DS Sip & Paint Fundraiser, a cornerstone event for Diabetic Social.
More Than Just a Fundraiser
The Sip & Paint event is not just about raising funds for diabetes education and awareness, it’s a statement that life with diabetes can be not just about survival, but about thriving. With easels, paintbrushes, and glasses in hand, the event invites people who are living with diabetes to come together in a supportive environment.
The Vision Behind Diabetic Social
Chaka Jackson eloquently spoke about the vision behind Diabetic Social, which goes beyond simply offering resources for managing diabetes. The non-profit aims to foster a community that uplifts its members, focuses on diabetes education, and gives back to society. She emphasized that "Diabetic Social is about creating a space where you're not alone, and you can still enjoy life's little pleasures like painting and socializing."
WKRN’s Contribution
The TV station WKRN played a crucial role in amplifying this important message by featuring the Diabetic Social Sip & Paint Fundraiser. The segment brought invaluable visibility to an often under-discussed issue.
