The Education for Children With Diabetes Foundation

In keeping with his long-standing dedication to raising awareness and millions of dollars for children with diabetes, John Ratzenberger supports The Education for Children With Diabetes Foundation, whose mission is to provide scholarships for activities related to diabetes education conferences for both the child with diabetes and the child's family. The funding generated from John Ratzenberger's Discovery and Invention will provide scholarships for higher education for children with diabetes.

Boys & Girls Clubs

The Boys & Girls Clubs of the Santa Clara Valley teach and serve with one purpose: To inspire and enable the healthy growth and development of all youth in a supportive and safe environment. Concentrating on children from disadvantaged circumstances, the clubs offer a sense of belonging and the tools to make positive choices for each child. The funding generated from John Ratzenberger's Discovery & Invention will go directly toward renovations to improve the physical limitations and deterioration of the current facility by offering specialized rooms for arts and crafts, computers, workshops, reading, sports and recreational activities. It will provide an air-conditioned, educational environment which will continue to serve as a safe haven for the area's children.
