Since then, we\u2019ve committed ourselves to supporting Breakthrough T1D and its work to improve life for people like Jack while driving toward cures.\u00a0 This year, that commitment takes on special meaning. Paula and I are incredibly honored to have been asked to serve as the Honorees for the 2027 Breakthrough T1D Gala on Saturday, March 6, 2027 at the Italian Community Center in Milwaukee. Over the last 11 years, we\u2019ve seen firsthand what investing in this mission can accomplish. Advances in insulin pumps, continuous glucose monitors, and other technologies have made it easier for Jack to manage his diabetes and live his life without letting T1D define what he can do.\u00a0 But we\u2019re not done yet.\u00a0 We know cures are coming. For our family, that means looking toward the day when Jack can take off his insulin pump for the last time. Our job now is to help get there faster. That is why, this year especially, we hope you\u2019ll join us in the ballroom.\u00a0 Some of you have known our family for years. Others I\u2019ve had the chance to work with along the way. Either way, there\u2019s a place at this table for you. If this is personal to you, join us: host a table for friends and family, grab tickets, or make a Fund A Cure gift in support of Jack and our family. If you\u2019re reading this as a colleague or business connection, this is a great year to put your company\u2019s name behind the cause as a Gala sponsor \u2014 a visible way to rally your team around something that matters, with sponsorship details just a scan away. And either way, check whether your employer matches gifts \u2014 it\u2019s an easy way to double what you give. Many of you have answered this call year after year, and what we have accomplished together is remarkable. Through your generosity and our family\u2019s matching support, we have now raised more than $1.8 million for Breakthrough T1D.\u00a0 This year, our collective goal is to raise $300,000.\u00a0 Whether you\u2019re with us in the ballroom or supporting us from afar \u2014 personally or through your company \u2014 we hope you\u2019ll be part of making that possible. We recognize there are many worthwhile organizations deserving of your support, and we encourage you to give to the causes that mean the most to you. We hope Breakthrough T1D will continue to be one of them. Please join us on March 6 for the Breakthrough T1D Gala. Sponsor the event, personally or through your company. Host a table for your family, friends or colleagues. Purchase tickets. And if you can\u2019t be there in person, make a Fund A Cure gift in support of our family. Together, let\u2019s help get to the day when Jack\u2014and everyone living with T1D\u2014can live free from this disease.
