The Breakthrough T1D Hope Gala continues to be the premier event for Breakthrough T1D in the Maryland and DC metropolitan area, proudly celebrating over 20 years of progress. This signature black-tie gala gathers more than 700 distinguished philanthropic leaders to raise critical funds for type one diabetes (T1D) research.

The evening will begin with a cocktail hour and silent auction, followed by a seated dinner, our exciting live auction, and the unique opportunity to directly contribute to groundbreaking research through our Fund A Cure program. The evening culminates in an unforgettable After Party, where you and your fellow guests can dance the night away to the incredible sounds of Trademark while you nosh on some late-night bites or enjoy a tasty cocktail from the open bar. After-Party-Only tickets can be purchased for $150 each HERE.

Tickets, as well as exclusive sponsorships, are still available. For questions regarding tickets, please contact Laurie Storch; for questions pertaining to sponsorship, please contact Stephanie Stuckey.

Get excited for this year’s live and silent auctions, featuring some of our auction mainstays – the Pappy, the puppy, and picturesque and posh getaways – as well as a few new and unique offerings.
