We utilize remote 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 visit the Remote Bidding tab at the top of this page and register your cell phone number.

*Breakthrough T1D will not use your phone number for anything other than allowing access to our remote bidding site.*

Live Auction Pick- ONLY 150 TICKETS SOLD!

Purchase a chance to win one of our incredible Live Auction Packages (may exclude select packages)!

Each ticket is $100. Tickets are available for purchase at the Gala. There is no limit to the number of Live Auction Picks that you can purchase and for each ticket you buy, your name is added to the drawing that will take place just prior to the Live Auction at the Gala. If your name is drawn, you get to choose a Live Auction Package (excludes Youth Ambassador art project)! Remember that each ticket offers a 1 in 150 chance to win a package worth thousands of dollars!

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.
