Drop by Drop
At Glacier Laboratories, Glacier Giving is more than a donation program. It reflects our identity and our commitment to communities in need.
This page highlights causes close to Glacier’s heart, including our commitment to Breakthrough T1D and other charitable organizations Glacier supports currently or has supported in the past.
A Cause Close to Our Heart
- Support for Breakthrough T1D
- Walks and fundraising initiatives since 2000
- Community support for families affected by type 1 diabetes
- Clean water awareness through Global 6K
- Support for health-focused charitable organizations
Our Commitment to Breakthrough T1D
Glacier’s support for Breakthrough T1D is deeply personal and has become part of who we are.
When our founder’s son—and the brother of our current president—was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 13, we came to understand the challenges families face. Since then, we have witnessed how demanding this condition can be.
In response, we have joined walks and fundraising initiatives since 2000. Through these efforts, we aim to drive progress toward better treatments, prevention, and ultimately, a cure.

Research, Resources, and Community
Beyond research, Breakthrough T1D provides education and resources that empower families while building a strong global community.
The organization funds research, accelerates development of therapies such as artificial pancreas systems and disease-modifying treatments, and advocates for affordable access to insulin and early detection programs.
Glacier’s involvement reflects our belief that meaningful support can help create progress for families affected by type 1 diabetes.
Other Charitable Organizations Glacier Supports Currently or in the Past
Glacier Giving also recognizes organizations connected to health, clean water, and community impact.
World Vision Global 6K for Water
The Global 6K for Water is World Vision’s signature fundraising event. It brings people together worldwide to walk, run, or roll six kilometers—the average distance children in developing countries travel each day for water.
By covering this distance, participants raise awareness of the daily struggle for safe water. Every step helps fund clean water projects.
