Rocky Hill School Hosts JDRF One Walk

On Sunday, October 15, Rocky Hill School opened its 84-acre waterfront campus to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation for its JDRF One Wa. The One Walk is a fun, family-friendly event where dedicated walkers, volunteers, and sponsors raise money to make living with T1D safer and healthier—until it is no longer a threat.

Registered walkers on the JDRF One Walk included a team of 38 students, parents, and faculty from Rocky Hill School who, combined with other Rocky Hill student teams, raised more than $10,200 for the cause. JDRF estimated that over 1,000 walkers and volunteers were in attendance. Prior to the event, Rocky Hill students Madelyn Dutilly, Sinead Burnett, Lizzie Hayes, and Jasper Summers gave presentations to the entire school community and Maddie spoke to all participants on the day of the One Walk.

Charles Iacono '99, Assistant Executive Director of JDRF New England and an alumnus of Rocky Hill School, was in attendance along with his extended family.
