Southwestern Diabetic Foundation, Inc., a non-profit corporation, was founded in 1947 with the sole purpose of operating a residential summer camp for children with Type 1 diabetes. After more than 60 years of operation, Camp Sweeney is regarded as one of the largest and most effective diabetes educational facilities in the world. Located north of Dallas, Camp Sweeney offers the only 3-week lifestyle change program in the United States and serves approximately 1,000 children ages 5-18 each summer. Camp Sweeney's goal is to educate and encourage diabetes management, fostering self-confidence and self-esteem in these children while creating an environment where they develop life-long friendships.

“Camp Sweeney is blessed to have the support of the Tyler Street Foundation, which provided 180 camper phones and $10,000 in campership funds. Because of their generosity, children who might not have been able to attend camp will have the opportunity to experience a life-changing summer session!

Thank You, Tyler Street Foundation!”
