Our Chapter will be hosting our annual Galas this spring! We will sparkle and shine on April 30th at the Renaissance Allentown. There we will take our Passport to a Cure to the Emerald Isle of Ireland! Sure to please this event will host the musical stylings of She Said Sunday. We will be honoring Mr. Eric Shippers of Penn National Gaming and his contributions to our Breakthrough T1D community.   Our gala goers may also choose to dazzle and dine at the Hyatt at the Bellevue in Philadelphia on May 21st, 2016! Our guests will be Racing To The Cure in Philadelphia as we enjoy the spectacular ambiance created by Arrangements Unlimited as they dance the night away to the sounds of Carnivale!

Our Breakthrough T1D galas are fun-filled, sophisticated, elegant evenings with cocktails, dinner, entertainment and quality silent, super-silent and live auctions featuring upscale items and unique trips and experiences. Each event honors and recognizes an individual, couple, family or business who has accepted a unique partnership with Breakthrough T1D to help lead the event’s success. Our evening highlight is Breakthrough T1D’s signature Fund A Cure, a unique live auction in which the money raised goes directly to diabetes research.
