An honors student and standout lacrosse player at Olentangy High School in Lewis Center, Ohio, Clifford Kigar garnered honors as a first-team all-region attackman for the second season in a row. In addition to his academic and athletic pursuits, Cliff Kigar supports the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) through the organization’s One Walk fundraising program.
Formerly known as the Walk to Cure Diabetes, One Walk is JDRF’s flagship fundraising event and the biggest event of its kind in the world. Each year, more than 900,000 participants attend local One Walk events in over 200 communities across the United States.
Individuals can participate in One Walk by walking alone or as part of a family or corporate team. All funds raised through JDRF One Walk events are used to support the organization’s various research activities focused on developing new treatments and eventually a cure for type 1 diabetes. In the last 12 years, the fundraising program has raised over $1 billion for JDRF’s lifesaving research.
