A Dynasty Since 2004
A simple conversation in 2003 between a patient named Joan and her diabetes educator, Monica Joyce, sparked the idea for Slam Dunk. The patient’s husband was on the board of directors of the Chicago Bulls. Joan knew all too well the challenges of managing diabetes. She understood the importance and need for children living with diabetes to learn how to balance food, exercise and insulin with a healthy dose of fun.
“I will be forever grateful that she understood and believed in the Slam Dunk camps idea. Thanks to her, we have successfully provided camps for more than 15 years.”
Monica Joyce, Executive Director of Slam Dunk for Diabetes
