Breakthrough T1D Promise Gala Went Platinum!

Published March 17, 2016

We went Platinum for a Cure, raising $1.4 Million for type 1 diabetes research at the 19th Annual Breakthrough T1D Promise Gala!

The generosity of our guests and supporters allows us to deliver hope and life-changing therapies that will make the burden of T1D less and less – until it no longer exists. Thank you for the commitment to our mission.
