Touchdowns for Diabetes with Chicago Bears Quarterback Jay Cutler

Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler hasn't let type 1 diabetes stop him from becoming one of the NFL's rising stars.

At Lilly USA, LLC, we're inspired by Jay's story. And we're rooting for Jay to have another Pro Bowl season. The more success Jay has, the more kids Lilly can help through the Touchdowns for Diabetes camp scholarship program.

For every touchdown pass Jay completes, Lilly will donate $1,000 — or approximately the cost of one full camp scholarship — to the American Diabetes Association's (ADA) diabetes camp scholarship fund. And for every pass Jay completes this season, we'll donate $100 to the scholarship fund to allow even more kids the chance to attend camp.

Jay will also make stops throughout the United States to meet with children with type 1 diabetes and their families in addition to continuing his hard work on the football field.

So this year, rooting for Jay means rooting for kids.
