OUR MISSION

The Diabetes Foundation, established by Chef Walter Potenza in 2005 in Providence, is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing essential children's diabetes support and delivering educational cooking programs for those affected by the disease. The Foundation's mission is to raise funds to further support Chef Walter's commitment to children's diabetes education. Chef Walter, who lives with type 2 diabetes, emphasizes the importance of food education, regular exercise, and minimal medication in managing the condition.

Chef Walter's Children's Diabetes Foundation NON-FOR-PROFIT #05-045-3691 (Opera Providence, 95 Hathaway Street, Providence, Rhode Island 02907, and 16 Jerome Road, New London, Connecticut, 06320) also operates in Connecticut.

FUNDS APPROPRIATION

Donated funds are directed to cover the costs of cooking classes for children. While there are no proceeds from the non-profit, these classes are accessible to participants. Our diabetes education programs for children are held at Chef Walter's Cooking School in Cranston, Rhode Island, and are offered three times yearly. These children’s diabetes classes are included in the school's cooking class calendar, and enrollment is certified by the child's physician.
