Join Floyd’s 99 Barbershop in Support of Breakthrough T1D This August
Turn $5 Into Hope: Get $50 in Discounts & Help Fight Type 1 Diabetes
This August, a trip to Floyd’s 99 Barbershop can help support a great cause that has been close to the Floyd’s family for years.
Floyd’s is once again partnering with Breakthrough T1D to raise money for Type 1 diabetes research. Since the partnership began in 2012, Floyd’s clients, team members and local communities have raised more than $2.1 million to support research, advocacy and programs for people living with Type 1 diabetes (T1D).
For the 2026 campaign, Floyd’s has set a goal of raising $100,000 throughout August. Clients who donate $5.00 will receive a booklet with discounts valued at $50.00 to use on future visits at any of our 143 locations.
A Partnership with a Personal Connection
Breakthrough T1D, formerly JDRF, is a leading global Type 1 diabetes research and advocacy organization. Its work focuses on funding research and accelerating breakthroughs that can improve everyday life for people with T1D while advancing new treatments and cures.
For Floyd’s founders Paul and Karen O’Brien, the connection to this work is personal. Their support began after their daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at just 9 years old. In the years since, that family commitment has grown into an annual Floyd’s initiative supported by clients and team members across the United States.
More than $2.1 million raised later, the partnership remains an opportunity for the Floyd’s community to support work that directly affects individuals and families living with Type 1 diabetes.
Each year, 64,000 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Breakthrough T1D (formerly JDRF) is on a mission to accelerate life-changing breakthroughs to cure, prevent, and treat T1D and its complications. As they drive toward cures, they're also helping make everyday life better for the people who face it, and we're proud to support that mission.

A Message from the O’Briens
“As more adults and children are diagnosed with T1D every day, our fundraising efforts in shops help fund critical research for a cause that’s close to our hearts. Our own daughter has lived with T1D since she was 9 years old. Stop into any Floyd's location, donate, and pick up a great Floyd’s coupon book. Thank you for supporting everyone living with T1D.”

How Type 1 Diabetes Research Is Improving Care
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system attacks the cells in the pancreas that make insulin. It can develop at any age, and there is currently no cure.
For people living with Type 1 diabetes, managing the condition requires insulin and careful monitoring of blood glucose levels every day. Advances in diabetes care, including the insulin pump, continuous glucose monitors (CGM) and automated insulin delivery systems, have helped change how many people manage T1D.
Research supported by organizations such as Breakthrough T1D continues to focus on improving these technologies, developing new therapies and pursuing treatments and cures. The long-term goal is to make life with T1D easier while continuing to advance toward cures.
For Floyd’s, the annual August fundraiser provides a direct way for clients and team members to contribute to that work.
Help Floyd’s Reach Its $100,000 Goal
Floyd’s clients and team members have helped raise more than $2.1 million for Type 1 diabetes research since 2012. This August, the goal is to add another $100,000 to that total.
Visit a Shop, make a difference. When you visit any Floyd’s 99 Barbershop between August 1 and August 31, ask your barber or stylist about purchasing a $5 Breakthrough T1D coupon booklet. You can also support the campaign by making an online donation. (Online donations are NOT eligible for coupon booklets.)
Every $5 booklet purchased brings Floyd’s closer to its 2026 fundraising goal and continues to make significant advanced towards find a cure to Type 1 Diabetes.
Stop by any Floyd’s Barbershop this August, pick up your coupon booklet and help support Breakthrough T1D.
Giving back has never felt better or saved you more. Visit your nearest Floyd’s Barbershop to make your donation and grab your booklet. Your support helps fund life-changing research and improves the lives of those living with T1D every day.
Your $5 makes a big impact. Thank you for being part of the fight.
