Slam Dunk For Diabetes Featured Work

Since 2004, Slam Dunk for Diabetes camps have been a place where kids with Type 1 and Type 2 can play basketball, laugh and share stories. They can also learn about managing their health through food, insulin, exercise and best of all – hanging out with kids who are just like them. Kids ages 5 to 18 attend 100% free three to four-day, half-day camps across Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin. Each day, they’re encouraged to build their confidence, make new friends and learn some new skills on the court. That’s what a Slam Dunk camp is all about… and it’s 100% free.

Gameplan Creative founder and chief creative officer, Tom O’Grady, directed a group of creative professionals in an EPIC Creative Rally iamepic.com where the team developed a series of creative, marketing and digital media materials—on a strictly pro bono basis—for Slam Dunk for Diabetes. slamdunkkids.org Gameplan Creative Sr. Designer Brigitte Smith created a new website for Slam Dunk which has helped increase attendee participation, SD4D camp awareness and the UX has greatly simplified registration, approval forms, rules and guidelines.
