Help us bring diabetes education, motivation and the important message of self advocacy to people with diabetes all over the country.
Taking Control Of Your Diabetes (TCOYD) relies on the generosity of our supporters in order to continue our mission of educating and motivating people with diabetes so that they may live better lives now. Donations of all sizes are welcome and are tax deductible. Each gift helps us to deliver our empowering messages to more people with diabetes.
Barbara Selstad is Biking Across the Country for TCOYD
Greetings!
I can't believe it...In just one month, I'll be flying down to San Diego, California where I will join a group of women over age 50 to ride our bikes over 3,000 miles across the country to St. Augustine, Florida. What an adventure!
I'm hoping that you can be part of my ride by making a donation to TCOYD, or Taking Control of Your Diabetes. I've set a lofty goal of $10,000 but with the cooperation of many people with gifts large or small I will reach it!

'In honor of' and 'In memory of' Gifts
Gifts can be designated in memory of a friend or loved one, or for a special occasion, such as a birthday or an anniversary. Many people have found great satisfaction by making gifts in memory of a friend or loved one, or to honor someone who is fighting diabetes. Others have made important contributions as a way of recognizing those who are making a difference in the lives of patients with diabetes, such as a physician or an educator. We will send a card announcing your gift (without mention of the amount) to the honoree or family member you designate.
Matching Gifts
Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match any charitable contributions made by their employees. Find out if your company has a matching gift policy.
Stock & Mutual Funds
Charitable gifts of appreciated stock or mutual fund shares avoid capital gains taxes and are a smart way to make a cost-effective gift. Call 858-755-5683 for details on easily transferring shares.
Boats and other watercraft, vehicles, real estate
There can be tremendous tax advantages to donating your boat (vehicle, real estate, etc). TCOYD maintains a close relationship and is partnering with another 501©3 charitable organization, Challenged America, to help both organizations and our donors who would like to donate watercraft. Challenged America provides free sailing educational and rehabilitation programs to people with disabilities. If you are interested in donating your boat (vehicle, real estate, etc), give us a call at TCOYD for details.
Planned Giving
Planned Giving means exactly that: planning now for how to make a charitable gift using the assets in your estate in a way that will benefit us and you. Gifts made through your will and special gift arrangements in estate planning not only can help TCOYD, but can provide you with substantial tax benefits. Also, gifts made in this manner are an excellent way to leave your legacy of support for patient education, motivation, and self-advocacy.
