After more than 50 years of breakthroughs, we are growing ever closer to living in a world without type 1 diabetes (T1D). Millions with T1D are thriving because of your generous support. We hope you choose to join us for the 2025 Breakthrough T1D Dream Galas and celebrate where we’ve been, where we’re going and every moment in between. Our time is now!
The Dream Gala is a fundraising event for community and corporate leaders in the type 1 diabetes (T1D) community benefiting the Breakthrough T1D Kansas & Missouri chapter. This event includes a seated dinner, exquisite silent auction, exciting live auction, and inspiring Fund A Cure.

Our lives were forever changed on January 23, 2020. But this night every year gives us hope for a different future – one without highs and lows, alarms in the middle of the night, or scary moments due to travel or intense moments on the soccer field or track. Hope is given through the generosity of many that we join together with here on the Wall of Hope and those who serve by volunteering countless hours. Thank you!
