Pump Girls

In February, at an annual winter family retreat sponsored by PADRE and the ADA (American Diabetes Association), the group performed the song in a sketch.

The performance attracted the attention of a pharmaceutical representative from diabetes pump manufacturer MiniMed Technologies (now part of Medtronic).

MiniMed contacted PADRE director Jackie Teichmann with interest in having the group perform live, and ultimately financing an album/CD.

In the spring of 1998 the Pump Girls had their public debut and CD launch at Children's Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) with much media coverage.

The Pump Girls have been featured on CNN,[2] ABC's World News Tonight with Peter Jennings,[8] and various other media outlets.
