About

Don’t Stop Believing: The 2026 Breakthrough T1D San Diego Gala

For more than 26 years, the Breakthrough T1D San Diego Gala has been the region’s premier annual celebration—bringing together our community to honor the strength, courage, and perseverance of those living with type 1 diabetes (T1D), while raising vital funds to fuel life-changing research.

This spring, we’re thrilled to take the Gala to North County for the first time! Join us at the stunning Alila Marea Beach Resort Encinitas on Saturday, April 25, 2026, for an unforgettable evening chaired by Leslie Bercovitz and Tally Bercovitz.

Get ready for an elevated 80s-inspired experience, featuring:

• A fabulous cocktail reception overlooking the Pacific

• A curated silent and live auction with exclusive items

• A gourmet seated dinner

• An inspiring program, moving mission moments and Breakthrough T1D’s signature Fund A Cure program

• Live entertainment by BETAMAXX!

Together, we can—and will—change the future of T1D.

We can’t stop believing in a cure. We won’t stop believing.
