Bill Keck – Valerie Miller Fund
• The Valerie Millar Cosmopolitan Fund for Children established in memory of a 15 year old girl - Valerie Millar of Freeman, South Dakota - who died of diabetes complications in 1990. The Fund’s creation was born out of the profound realization that deaths such as hers can and should be prevented through better quality diabetes education and intervention.
The fund is now called the Cosmopolitan Fund for Children (CFC) and has been a recognized project of the Cosmopolitan Diabetes Foundation and Cosmopolitan International since 1997 and governance of the CFC has positioned it as a project of the North Central Federation.
Bill Keck – Valerie Miller Fund
• Each club in the North Central Federation is represented on the CFC Board and the service area the Fund serves (and thus entertains grant requests from) represents geographically the area of the North Central Federation (North and South Dakota).
