Could you imagine having the opportunity to formally introduce the First Lady of the United States as a freshman in high school? <br /><br /> Well, Polished Pebble mentee Deneen Borner did, &amp; she's heading to college at Mississippi Valley State University this Fall and we need your help to make sure she can get there! <br /><br />In 2011, Polished Pebble mentee, Deneen Borner, had the privilege of introducing First Lady Michelle Obama at the National Mentoring Summitt in Washington, DC.  The First Lady’s reaction to that introduction spoke accolades to the work we do with girls. She simply stated, “well there you go, and that’s what the south side of Chicago produces.” This comment spoke to the impact of our mentoring model and the possibility to extend our reach to more communities. You can check out Deneen's speech below! <br /><br />We couldn't have been more proud of Deneen, after giving such a stellar speech.  And, she continued to impress us as she beat the odds for the next four years, attending high school at Harlan Community Academy in Chicago, maintaining a 3.7 GPA, joining the National Honors Society and the Young Business Development Institute, and maintaining a part time job.  Although she's had a lot of personal obstacles to overcome, she's excited about starting college.  <br /><br /><strong>Please donate</strong> to ensure that we can support Deneen with transportation, fees to get Deneen get to her college orientation, and final move in date.  With such an excellent start, we can only imagine how far Deneen will go! Please help reach the stars! <br /><br />Thanks in advance!<br /><br /><iframe media_type="0" media_id="oG-yJn-oQHw" class="youtube-replace" title="YouTube video player" style="margin-bottom:20px;width:560px;height:315px;" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/oG-yJn-oQHw/?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="1"></iframe>

</div>
<div><strong>Our Story: How DJing for Diabetes Was Born</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hi, I am <strong>Wendell Mosby</strong>, and I am the founder of <strong>DJing for Diabetes Foundation, Inc.</strong>, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting individuals and families affected by <strong>Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes</strong> through the power of <strong>music, education, and community engagement</strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The journey with diabetes became personal when our son, <strong>Myles</strong>, was diagnosed with <strong>Type 1 Diabetes</strong> <strong>at the age of 7</strong>. As a family, we were suddenly faced with learning how to manage a lifelong condition—balancing <strong>blood sugars, insulin, and daily routines</strong>. But more than anything, we wanted Myles to know that <strong>diabetes wouldn't stop him from living his dreams</strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Before his diagnosis, Myles fell in love with <strong>DJing</strong>. We got him a mixer, and during the pandemic, he entertained his classmates by <strong>DJing virtual parties</strong>, spreading joy when the world felt uncertain. But after his diagnosis, DJing took on an even greater meaning.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For Myles’ <strong>first Diaversary</strong> (the one-year anniversary of his diagnosis), Tiffany visited his classroom to <strong>educate his peers</strong> about Type 1 diabetes. She created fun, interactive games to help his classmates understand what Myles goes through every day. To celebrate, Myles DJ’ed the party—spinning music and lifting spirits.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Above the DJ booth that day, a sign read:
</div>
<div> <strong>DJing for Diabetes</strong> 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That moment became the spark for a movement. We realized how powerful music can be—not just for joy, but as a tool for <strong>education, awareness, and unity</strong>. That’s when <strong>DJing for Diabetes Foundation, Inc</strong>. was born.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why We Created DJing for Diabetes Foundation, Inc.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Diabetes can feel overwhelming, especially for children and families—but <strong>no one should have to face it alone</strong>. Our mission is to create a foundation that:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong> Empowers and Uplifts </strong>– Using <strong>music and creative arts </strong>to help kids with diabetes see that their diagnosis doesn’t define them.
</div>
<div><strong> Educates and Advocates</strong> – Developing <strong>school-based programs, games, and resources</strong> to raise awareness and understanding of diabetes.
</div>
<div> <strong>Builds Community</strong> – Creating<strong> inclusive events</strong> where families can connect, celebrate milestones, and feel seen and supported.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why Your Support Matters</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
