Energy Swing Windows Champions JDRF Cause

One Leader’s Inspirational Impact

One person can inspire many others to become involved in an important cause. Steve Rennekamp, owner of Energy Swing Windows, demonstrates strong commitment to JDRF. He inspires those around him to get involved through walking, donating, or both.

A Personal Connection to Type 1 Diabetes

Rennekamp shares his story: “Families with Type 1 Diabetes face daily challenges with blood sugar balance. Kids with Type 1 look normal but lead different lives. They need frequent blood tests and insulin multiple times daily. This creates constant struggles for families, especially with infant diagnoses.”

The Personal Cost

“I witnessed the devastating impact firsthand,” Rennekamp continues. “Both my first wife and son died from diabetes complications. This drives my involvement with JDRF. Our team walks to support research that will make Type 1, Type None.”

Fundraising Success

Energy Swing Windows has increased its JDRF goal every year for five years. The company has raised nearly $40,000 for the cause. In 2016, they doubled their $7,000 goal by raising over $14,000.

Sources of Support

The team raised funds through three main channels:

  • Individual donations from friends and family
  • Energy Swing Windows contributed 1% of September and October sales
