Like most people who have call minder on their phone screens, I look at the name and/or phone number before I pick up. Just minutes ago I received a call from a J&K Griffin, local number.
I thought it might be someone my husband knows or someone connected to work so I picked it up. I was immediately presented with a tinny recorded announcement concerning the Canadian Diabetes Association. I hung up immediately, but no doubt I was being asked for money.
This is outrageous (also the call came just as we were sitting down to dinner). I will never donate to the Canadian Diabetes Association locally or nationally.
With this kind of fund-raising tactic I don't imagine they'll raise much.

Additional business details
Charles Best, the co-discover of insulin, had a vision. Very early on he saw that the growing number of Canadians with diabetes were going to require an organization to serve their needs. In the late 1940's, the Diabetic Association of Ontario was formed.
As the provinces and territories formed their own associations, it became clear that if the provincial branches combined their resources they could more effectively serve their membership. This culminated in the formation of Canadian Diabetes Association in 1953.
Established over 50 years ago, the Canadian Diabetes Association is a charitable organization that has grown to include a presence in more than 150 communities across the country. The Canadian Diabetes Association promotes the health of Canadians through diabetes research, education, service and advocacy.
