BASEL, Switzerland – Ascensia Diabetes Care is supporting the 2021 Spare a Rose campaign, which encourages people to donate the $5 cost of each rose they would have given someone on Valentine’s Day to Life for a Child. The organization provides lifesaving diabetes supplies and insulin to children in countries such as Mauritania, Jamaica and India. “While people around the world will be buying flowers and cards for their loved on this Valentine’s Day, many of our employees will be choosing instead to donate to the Spare a Rose campaign,” said Rob Schumm, president. “This is testament to how many employees at Ascensia are passionate about making a difference to the lives of people living with diabetes, both professionally and personally.” Ascensia will match donations up to a maximum of one rose for each of the company’s 1,700 employees. To date, they have raised more than $40,000.
