Dear Breakthrough T1D Supporter,
As the 2024 Breakthrough T1D Hope Gala Chair, I am honored to ask you to participate in the Breakthrough T1D ONE Night, Hope Gala, on Saturday, February 24, 2024, at 6:00 p.m. at The Westin Jackson. Our goal at this year’s Gala is to raise more than $350,000 to fund life-changing research to cure, prevent and treat type 1 diabetes (T1D) and its complications for all of those living with T1D. The Breakthrough T1D Hope Gala is an extraordinary evening, attended by more than 300 guests who will come together for an impressive and inspiring evening of dinner, amazing auctions, and support of our entire community.
I was introduced to T1D when I married my husband, Eric Davis, as several of his family members on both his mother and father’s sides live with T1D. My goal is to work with Breakthrough T1D to fund research to find the cures, so my children, Olivia, and Garner, and no one else will have to bear the burden of this disease.
With your support, Breakthrough T1D will help deliver on the promise of making life with Type 1 Diabetes better. Breakthrough T1D funds research which champions technology with that goal in mind, from the first engineered insulin 40 years ago to recent advancements like artificial pancreas systems and more. But we still have further to go. We want cures. And we won’t stop until we get there. We cannot do it alone and we need your help.
So, we invite you to join us as we take on T1D! There are four very different, yet equally important ways you can support the Hope Gala:
- Gather friends, family, and/or colleagues to attend the Gala. Tables and tickets are available for purchase starting at $250 on jdrfonenightms.com.
- Sponsor the Gala. Join the event as a sponsor and receive marketing and event night benefits. Sponsorship levels begin at $3,000.
- Contribute to Fund A Cure, a 100% tax deductible donation that directly supports T1D research. (Please don’t forget to use any available corporate matching programs).
- Donate an item(s) for our silent and/or live auction.
Thank you for your consideration and we hope to see you on at the Breakthrough T1D ONE Night Hope Gala as we help turn Type One into Type NONE!
With Hope for a Cure,
Amber Davis, Hope Gala Chair
