Bayer believes in your big ideas.

The Bayer Dream Fund dares you to dream big. Each year we choose someone living with diabetes and give that person up to $100,000 to help accomplish something extraordinary and inspire others with diabetes. Our past winners have done amazing things, including a 10,000-mile bicycle tour and a history-making sailing trip. Tell us what you’ve always dreamed of doing and you might be the next winner. Entry deadline is October 31.
