Saddle Brook, NJ - Nourison has launched a social media campaign to help fund research to find a cure for diabetes.

During the months of October and November, the company - which is owned and operated by the Peykar family -- will donate $1 to the Diabetes Research Institute Foundation for every new "like" or "follow" on Nourison's Facebook or Pinterest page.

"Nourison and the Peykar family have been strong supporters of The Diabetes Research Institute for a long time," said Thomas Itty, marketing director of Nourison. "Our goal is to raise awareness for this devastating illness that affects so many in our society as well as highlight the significant progress organizations such as the DRI are making in finding a cure for diabetes."

To participate in the company's "You Click, We'll Give" campaign, visitors to Nourison's Facebook page (www.facebook.com/nourison) can click "Like" and those on its Pinterest page (www.pinterest.com/nourisonrugs) can click "Follow" any time this month or in November.

Donations can also be made directly to the Diabetes Research Institute by visiting www.diabetesresearch.org.
