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.*

Live Auction Pick – ONLY 100 TICKETS SOLD!

Purchase a chance to win one of our incredible Live Auction Packages! Each ticket is $100. Tickets are available for purchase through your mobile bidding link that you will receive when Sile Auction bidding opens. There is no limit to the number of Live Auction Picks that you purchase and for each ticket you buy, your name is added to the drawing that will take place prior to the Live Auction at the Gala. If your name is drawn, you get to choose any Live Auction Package! Remember that each ticket offers a 1 in 100 chance to win a package worth thousands of dollars!
