CARMEL, Ind. –

The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, a global organization focused on Type 1 diabetes research, received a healthy donation from ADESA and Emkay toward the end of December.

ADESA announced in late December that it, in partnership with Emkay, raised $50,660 in support of JDRF, bringing the partnership’s total contribution tally for the last four years to nearly $160,000.

How were the donations collected? During the eight-month campaign, both companies donated $10 for each Emkay vehicle sold at an ADESA location.

“At ADESA, we appreciate every opportunity to support JDRF, so joining forces with industry partners like Emkay, who is also a longtime supporter, is a natural fit,” said ADESA president and chief executive officer Stéphane St-Hilaire. “We hope that the funds raised will help to someday find a cure for Type 1 diabetes, which affects the lives of so many people in our families and communities.”
