Fund A Cure is a unique opportunity to donate directly to the mission of Breakthrough T1D. At the end of the Live Auction, the Auctioneer will call out various funding levels. When you hear the level at which you wish to contribute, simply raise your bid card high until you hear your bid number called. Your full donation will go directly to the world-class research that Breakthrough T1D is funding and is 100% tax deductible.
Auction Information
Silent Auction
We utilize mobile silent auction bidding so please ensure the Breakthrough T1D office has your cell phone number. You will receive a text message when the auction opens, and you may begin bidding at that time. If you are unable to attend in person, but would like to participate in the silent auction, please contact Morgan Nielsen at mnielsen@BreakthroughT1D.org to register your cell phone number. *Breakthrough T1D will not use your phone number for anything other than allowing access to our mobile bidding site.*
