About
The Breakthrough T1D Illinois Gala is the largest global type 1 diabetes (T1D) fundraiser. Last year, we raised over $18 Million for T1D research and broke fundraising records for the eighth consecutive year. We couldn’t do it without you.
Help us continue making breakthroughs at the 2024 Illinois Gala on Saturday, December 14. Join us for an unforgettable evening featuring an expansive silent auction, one-of-a-kind live auction, seated dinner, award-winning live entertainment, and a night of fundraising all in support of the diabetes community.
