Juvenile Diabetes is a disease, which strikes children suddenly, making them insulin-dependent for life, and causes them to carry the constant threat of devastating complications. Juvenile Diabetes is diagnosed when a person's pancreas stops producing insulin, a hormone that enables people to get energy from food. This disease usually strikes in childhood but lasts a lifetime. People with Juvenile Diabetes must take multiple injections of insulin daily or continuous infusion of insulin through a pump just to survive. 

JDRF, the leading charitable funder and advocate of juvenile (type 1) diabetes research worldwide, was founded in 1970 by the parents of children with juvenile diabetes. Since inception, JDRF has provided more than $800 million in direct funding to diabetes research. More than 80 percent of JDRF's expenditures directly support research and research-related education. JDRF's mission is constant: to find a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support of research.

Every semester, the Beta Chapter hosts a JDRF Week to raise awareness by hosting fundraisers, having tastings at the sugar-free bake sale as well as throwing charity parties to help raise funds.
 
Along with JDRF, the Beta Chapter works very closely with the Dallas Heart House which is a free after school program dedicated to providing a safe haven and academic support to children of low-income families in Dallas, Texas. Almost every week the Brothers go out and spend their afternoon going over homework with the children and get rewarded afterwards with a celebratory game of soccer or football.

 
They also participate with many other organizations around the Dallas Ft-Worth area with a few of them listed below:
Salvation Army - Angel Trees
Salvation Army - Kettle Drives
Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk
YMCA Turkey Trot
North Texas Food Bank
