Cash became involved with JDRF in 2004 after his oldest son was diagnosed with T1D at three years old. Their second son was also diagnosed with T1D in 2011 at the age of eight. Today, Cash, his wife and their two sons are active members and supporters of the organization and have participated in JDRF walks, galas and other fundraising and outreach efforts for many years.
JDRF is the leading global organization funding T1D research. It is the largest charitable supporter of T1D research, currently sponsoring $530 million in scientific research in 17 countries.
Cash’s Atlanta-based law firm is also a large supporter of the organization and was recently a sponsor of the Hope for a Cure Gala, which annually raises more than $1 million, for the sixth consecutive year.
