Important Event Details for In-Person Guests

Breakthrough T1D Triangle Gala: Raching Towards a Breakthrough is cocktail attire.

Complimentary Valet Parking is available.  The event will start at the Pavilion at the Angus Barn at 6:00pm on May 1, 2027.

The Cocktail Reception will be held from 6:00pm-6:45pm.

Prior to entering the Cocktail Reception, all guests must go through our registration process located just inside the entrance.

All guests will be asked to link a credit card to their account. Cards will not be charged until the week following the event, and payment methods can easily be changed by emailing Hanah at [email protected].

For the best bidding experience, please turn off Wi-Fi when you enter the venue. Don’t forget, you may set “max bids” on Greater Giving for your favorite items and enjoy the evening without constantly checking your phone to see if you’ve been out-bid.

Auction Pick-Up will be available at the end of the program.

Please join us for our after party featuring Hugh Swaso & The Vandals immediately after the program!

If you have any changes to your guest record in the days leading up to the event, please contact Hanah as soon as possible. All guests are asked to provide a mailing address. If you have not done so, or have recently changed addresses, please let us know.

Thank you for supporting Breakthrough T1D and our vision of a world without type 1 diabetes!

Auction Pickup Details

Pickup will occur the night of the event immediately after the Fund a Cure program ends. Pickup will take place next to the registration tent. Any items that are not picked up the night of the event must be picked up by the purchaser by arranging time with Breakthrough T1D staff. Please email Hanah Rose at [email protected] to arrange any pickup after the event.

Auction Rules:

Bidding on the Silent Auction items will be through the Greater Giving Mobile Bidding Platform. Any Live Auction bidding will occur live at the Gala. All bids are final and non-retractable. There will be no exchange or refund on items unless otherwise specified. We accept cash, check, Discover, Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. DAF payments are not allowed for auction items.

Please carefully check envelopes containing gift certificates before leaving. Breakthrough T1D is not responsible for replacing gift certificates lost after you leave the event. Breakthrough T1D is under no obligation to extend, modify or change items or restrictions on items/certificates. Please pay careful attention to all conditions, restrictions, and expirations on items and services. Unless otherwise stated, gift certificates exclude alcohol, tax and gratuity. Unless otherwise noted, all auction items and services must be used within one year of the 2027 Breakthrough T1D Triangle Gala.  We appreciate your strict observance of these restrictions, as future donations depend upon it.

Breakthrough T1D cannot ship alcohol. You must be 21+ to purchase any package with alcohol items included. Winning bidders are responsible for any shipping and insurance charges. Auction items not collected within one (1) year of the event will become property of Breakthrough T1D.

Dates for all trips and similar events must be mutually arranged with donor, unless noted. All reservations should be made at least one month in advance. All tickets in travel packages are for coach travel, unless otherwise specified. No refunds are permitted for canceled, lost, or unused tickets and/or accommodations. Airline blackout dates apply to all tickets, regardless of airline, unless specifically noted. Blackout dates are subject to change. Tickets cannot be reissued or refunded.

All completed sales from this event are considered transactions solely between the purchaser and the donor of the auction item. All gift card usage is the responsibility of the buyer. Although the gift card and amount is currently valid, Breakthrough T1D is not responsible for unused gift cards at businesses that may cease to operate before the expiration date. Auction items may not be transferred from the original buyer to another auction outside of Breakthrough T1D without prior written consent from the donor.

Breakthrough T1D has endeavored to catalogue and describe the auction items correctly on-line, in the ballroom, and the electronic bidding devices, but all items are sold “as-is”. No statements contained in the program or made orally at the sale or elsewhere shall be deemed a warranty, representation or assumption of liability. Bidders should carefully note the specific restrictions, conditions, and expiration dates for items purchased. Items depicted in the slide presentation, auction display and on electronic devices are for illustration purposes and may not be actual auction items.

Breakthrough T1D reserves the right to withdraw any item from sale.
