Sportsmen for Charity participants
take a break from the day's activities.

The Diabetes Research Institute was the beneficiary of the third annual Sportsmen for Charity event which was held on April 18th at the Pawling Mountain Club in Pawling, NY. This exciting clay shooting event was attended by 80 people. All of the proceeds, including those from a live auction and raffle, will be donated to DRI.

The event chairman, Charles F. Guigno, and the Sportsmen for Charity president, Edward A. Rytter, thanked the guests for their participation during the awards program.  Guigno made special mention of his connection to diabetes, as he displayed confidence in the DRI. 

"My grandson, Michael, was 11 years old when he was diagnosed with diabetes," said Guigno. "He is now 17 and turning 18 in November. With your organization's help he will live a long and productive life."
