Honoring The Rafanelli Goodenough Family

Recipients of the 2025 Breakthrough T1D Impact Award

The Rafanelli Goodenough family will receive the Impact Award at the 2025 Breakthrough T1D Tee to Table event on May 9th at The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay. Their dedication and contributions to our mission and the type 1 diabetes (T1D) community have been exceptional and exemplary.

The family’s connection to Breakthrough T1D began in 2016 when their daughter Reese was diagnosed with T1D at six years old. Since then, Wyeth Goodenough and Sarah Rafanelli, along with Reese (14) and her sisters Sadie (17) and Ellis (11), have been actively involved in supporting the T1D community. 

Wyeth, a technology executive, served on our Northern California Chapter Board for six years and played a key role in mobilizing corporate support. While at Salesforce, Wyeth brought then-CFO Mark Hawkins on board as Corporate Chair of the 2017 Walk, which raised over $1M, with the Salesforce team contributing nearly half a million dollars. Wyeth was named JDRF Board Member of the Year in 2019.

The family has consistently participated in key Breakthrough T1D events, including the Breakthrough T1D Walk, the Hope Gala, and Tee to Table. In 2018, Reese and her sisters were Fund A Cure speakers at the Summer Classic, and in 2019, Reese and Wyeth presented the Living & Giving Award to Mark and Laura Hawkins at the Hope Gala. The combined events raised over $3M.

Sports play a big role in this family’s life. Sarah set the all time scoring record at Stanford on the women’s varsity soccer team. She also won a bronze medal in the 1995 World Cup as a striker on the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team. Wyeth was the captain of the varsity tennis team at Northwestern. Sadie, Reese and Ellis are following in their parents’ footsteps. Sadie is a three-sport high school athlete. Reese is also a three-sport high school athlete and was recently named one of the top lacrosse players in the country by American Select Lacrosse. Ellis is right on her big sister’s heels playing lacrosse, soccer and basketball. Needless to say, T1D has not slowed Reese, nor her family down. She proudly sports her Omnipod and Dexcom every time she sets foot on a field. 

The Rafanelli Goodenough family’s commitment to supporting Reese and raising awareness for T1D has made a significant impact on our community. We are proud to honor them at this year’s event.
