Upcoming and Past Events
SODA hosts many exciting events throughout the year to promote diabetes awareness and raise money for our philanthropy organization, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
November is Diabetes Awareness month!
SODA does a variety of events throughout this month to increase awareness on and off campus. Some of our regularly occurring events include: a specialty sandwich at Collegetown Bagels, Dimes for Diabetes (a spare change fundraiser conducted at various local businesses), bake sales, and awareness tabling (which involves trivia questions and free candy).
Ithaca Walk/Run for Diabetes!
Ithaca Walk/Run for Diabetes: Each year SODA sponsors a walk/run that raises money to benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). This year’s walk was held on Sunday September 28th on Cornell University’s campus in Barton Hall.

MAYke a Change: Outdoor Zumba and Yoga class
In May 2014, SODA hosted free zumba and yoga classes for Cornell students to help them de-stress and fit some exercise into their hectic schedules. While we held the classes in Balch Hall on North Campus, we’re planning to host the event outdoor this upcoming spring semester.

Guest Speaker Series
In February 2014, SODA hosted their first lecture series entitled “Transformations in Diabetes Care: A Team Perspective.” A local endocrinologist came to campus to speak about his perspective of modern diabetes care. We plan to continue this speaker series in the spring semester.
