For the month of May, Nevada-based Rowdy Bars will be donating a portion of its online sales to Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) to help raise funding and awareness toward the treatment, prevention, and cure of type 1 diabetes.

“JDRF has been leading the fight for new therapies and a cure to type 1 diabetes since the 70s,” said Rowdy Bars CEO Kellie Lee. “We are so proud to be partnering with such a vital organization, and that our bars are able to make a difference in the lives of those managing type 1 diabetes.”

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that affects both children and adults regardless of diet or lifestyle. It requires constant blood sugar monitoring as well as attention to what’s being eaten and how active one is.

According to the company, Rowdy Bars is a low-glycemic snack brand that makes it easier for individuals with auto-immune diseases and digestive health issues to get the energy they need to live an active lifestyle. Its protein-packed bars are crafted with real food ingredients that won’t cause blood sugar levels to spike.
