Breakthrough T1D Mountain West: Colorado Springs TypeOneNation Summit
February 15, 2024, Colorado Springs, CO
6:00 pm – 8:00 pm (Mountain Time)
FREE
TypeOneNation is an event filled with education, inspiration and connection as we gather together to learn about life with T1D.
The Colorado Springs type 1 diabetes (T1D) community is invited to a free TypeOneNation Summit, hosted by the Breakthrough T1D Mountain West Chapter!
Join us on the evening of Thursday, February 15, where we will offer opportunities to learn more about who Breakthrough T1D is and how we serve the greater T1D community. You’ll also hear more about the broader experiences of life with T1D from those who get it. No matter if you’ve lived with T1D for 10 minutes or 10 years, TypeOneNation is a time to meet and mingle with the Colorado Springs Breakthrough T1D and T1D communities.
Please reserve a spot for each individual guest who will be attending using the appropriate ticket type. While there will be no official childcare, kids and families are welcome!
Additionally, we offer a special thanks to SCHEELS, who has donated special goodies for us to give away just to attendees of this event!
Snacks and beverages, including gluten-free options, will be available.
We look forward to seeing you!
