We are so excited to have you as our guest at the 29th Annual Breakthrough T1D Hope Gala and are gearing up for a fantastic evening! The Breakthrough T1D Hope Gala is a night of celebration and courage for all those living with and affected by type 1 diabetes (T1D). Each person in attendance has the unique opportunity to directly impact and advance T1D research and technology advancements through his/her participation. We have highlighted below the many different ways in which guests can participate in the evening and contribute to the success of the Gala. These opportunities include:
FUND A CURE
100% of your Fund A Cure donation goes straight to research/research related education and 100% is a tax deductible donation. At the Gala, please take a moment to raise your paddle and have a direct impact on type 1 diabetes research.
Note: Please make sure to bring your cellphones fully charged! Guests will have the opportunity to use their smartphones when bidding on silent auction items throughout the night.
We hope your guests and you will have fun participating in these events throughout the evening. Please see below for further important details for the Hope Gala.
