Thank you to all of our Third Party Event organizers for your generous past support of Breakthrough T1D! We are truly grateful to have been chosen as the beneficiary of your past fundraising activities and we look forward to partnering with you again in the coming years. In FY2016 alone we have already raised more than $108,000 through Third Party fundraising, exceeding our budget of $80,000 for the current fiscal year.

Third Party & Team Breakthrough T1D group events are a unique and exciting way to fight diabetes. These DIY fundraisers allow families, service clubs, youth groups, and other community organizations to make a difference in the fight against type 1 diabetes (T1D). YOU can help make a difference in the lives of those living with T1D by holding your own Third Party Event or Team Breakthrough T1D online fundraising campaign. Turn a golf outing, bowl-a-thon, spaghetti dinner, block party, BBQ—you name it—into a fundraising and awareness activity. Or keep it simple. Hold a bake sale or company jeans day and send the proceeds to your local Metro Detroit Chapter.

It is because of people like you that Breakthrough T1D has the ability to not just deliver hope, but a series of life-changing therapies that will make the burden of type 1 diabetes (T1D) less and less, until it no longer exists. We are putting your dollars to work funding research that will remove the daily burden of managing this complex disease through better treatments like smart insulin, an artificial pancreas, or encapsulation therapy while relentlessly pursuing our vision of a world without T1D through prevention and ultimately a cure.

To get started visit the Team Breakthrough T1D website or contact Mandy Esper today to request a Third Party Fundraising Packet at mesper@BreakthroughT1D.org or (248) 936-1290. We look forward to assisting you in your fundraising efforts and/or seeing you at a Breakthrough T1D signature event. Thank you in advance for your continued support.
