Thank you, Trust Point, for choosing to support Camp Sweet Life through your Pay It Forward Program! We're grateful for your generosity and commitment to giving back to our community. Every gift helps us make a difference for families impacted by Type 1 Diabetes.

Our team is continuing to make a meaningful impact through Trust Point’s Pay It Forward Program! In the second quarter of 2026, our team members have helped support organizations that are making a meaningful difference—both locally and beyond.

We’re proud to have contributed to:
⭐ Camp Nawakwa ( Our Nawakwa)
⭐ Camp Sweet Life
⭐ Family & Children's Center Lotus House
⭐ Mormon Coulee Lions Club
⭐ Eau Claire Community Humane Association - ECCHA

Each of these organizations is doing important work to strengthen communities, expand access to resources, and create lasting impact. Being able to support their missions is one of the many ways we live out our commitment to giving back. Each month, four Trust Point team members are randomly drawn to receive $250 to pay it forward.

THANK YOU DR LARSON

For 25 years, Dr. Robert Larson has been part of the story for countless patients and families across southern Minnesota.

He helped build stronger diabetes care at Mankato Clinic. And through Camp Sweet Life Adventures, he helped create a place where kids with diabetes could feel supported, confident, and understood.

On July 16, Dr. Larson will retire from Mankato Clinic. We thank him for the care he provided, the trust he built, and the difference he made.

Please join us in wishing him the very best.

What an incredible day! Our First Annual Camp Sweet Life Golf Tournament was a huge success, and we couldn't be more grateful. Thank you to everyone who spent their Saturday with us — our golfers, sponsors, volunteers, donors, and supporters.

Whether you gave your time, your resources, or simply showed up to support our mission, you helped make this day truly special. We were blown away to have 17 teams join us for our very first tournament. Seeing our community come together to support youth living with Type 1 Diabetes is something we'll never forget.

Congratulations to our winners!
🥇 1st – Old Guys Team (-8)
🥈 2nd – Ummie's (-8) (decided by the handicap hole)
🥉 3rd – T-Hall Guys (-5)

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making our first tournament one to remember. We can't wait to do it again next year!
