Email Badges
 

Email badges are a great way to show your support in the fight to stop diabetes each and every day! Simply download the badges here and then use them in your email signature to help spread the word about this deadly disease. Everyone who gets an email from you could be a future team member or someone that might be interested in donating on your behalf. You never know who has been affected by diabetes.

If you are unsure how to modify your email signature download the instructions for several popular email programs.
