Our Events

Kyler Cares is a community of support. There are many ways, both online and in person, to join our community.

Pull up—we’re celebrating National Diabetes Month with a community walk through Audubon Park Trail because health is culture and y'all know we do it together. Bring your people—kids, aunties, besties, walkers, strollers. Come as you are with your pumps, pods, CGMs, and as always, big hearts and smiles. We’re walking for awareness, for access, and for every family navigating T1D in our city.

Engage with the Kyler Cares community. Find your people. Check out our calendar of events for opportunities to connect with others as you navigate your own diabetes journey.
