Employees of manufactured housing component supplier Lippert Components, Inc. of Elkhart, Indiana participated in the annual JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) Walk to Cure Diabetes, raising over $15,000 for research into a cure for Type 1 diabetes. According to rvbusiness.com., around 200 employees and their families took part in the walk at Beutter Park in Mishawaka Sept. 14. Management from two Lippert plants helped raise $3,000 by allowing employees to dunk them in a tank Aug. 23; and the proceeds from a raffle for a 20-foot utility trailer to be held Oct 17 will also go to JDRF.
