Flora Allen-Hopson and her son Ray Allen, future Hall-of-Fame guard of the Boston Celtics, are keeping up their assault on Type 1 diabetes. They collaborated on an idea called Ray's $3 for 3, a campaign to raise awareness of Type 1 diabetes and funding for diabetes research and treatment programs at the Joslin Diabetes Center. It's pretty simple: for every 3-point basket Ray drains this season, fans and supporters can donate $3 to Joslin for their research toward a cure for Type 1 diabetes. You can support Ray and Joslin for a month or two, or sponsor them for an entire season. The work Joslin does, particularly its research, benefits all of us affected by type 1 diabetes.

Registration is easy and we'll make it a bit easier: click here on Ray Allen's $3 for 3, and follow the registration steps at the site to get behind Ray.

As it's stated on the Joslin website, season-long supporters will be invited to a post season VIP reception with Flora and you'll automatically be entered in season long raffles and other neat benefits.
