Fund A Cure

Breakthrough T1D’s signature Fund A Cure program is a powerful giving opportunity that invites donors to make direct, 100% tax-deductible contributions to support our mission. Shared on stage during the Gala program, Fund A Cure emphasizes personal stories of those impacted by T1D and the urgent need for cures.

Watch Breakthrough T1D community member Andy Drechsler share his family’s story at a Gala hosted by our New Jersey Metro and Rockland County Chapter:

We envision a world where the burden of T1D no longer exists. It’s a world where people don’t have to manage their diabetes—don’t take insulin, don’t have blood-sugar highs and lows, and don’t develop complications.  Fund A Cure donations will be invested in Breakthrough T1D’s effective and focused research agenda aimed to progressively remove the impact of T1D from people’s lives until there is a cure.
