About Breakthrough T1D (Formerly JDRF) Breakthrough T1D (formerly JDRF) is the leading global type 1 diabetes research and advocacy organization, we help make everyday life better while driving toward cures. T1D is a chronic autoimmune disease. This means that it doesn\u2019t go away. Anyone can be diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at any age, though it usually is diagnosed in childhood or adolescence. In T1D, the body\u2019s immune system attacks the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. Insulin is an essential hormone that helps the body turn food into energy. People living with type 1 diabetes must take insulin by injection or insulin pump to survive. We are opening doors once closed by T1D diagnosis. We lead the way to more effective solutions by\u202fconnecting the brightest minds to advance\u202ftreatments,\u202finfluence policy, and improve access to care.\u200b By driving innovation forward, Breakthrough T1D will make type 1 diabetes a condition of the past.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.breakthrought1d.org\/westerncentralny\/events\/breakthrough-t1d-buffalo-gala-2026\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Western and Central New York Chapter\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/breakthrought1dHQ\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-03-16T18:19:28+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.breakthrought1d.org\/westerncentralny\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/159\/2025\/08\/Mission_Statement-scaled-e1755529640474.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"2200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1920\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@breakthrought1d\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.breakthrought1d.org\\\/westerncentralny\\\/events\\\/breakthrough-t1d-buffalo-gala-2026\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.breakthrought1d.org\\\/westerncentralny\\\/events\\\/breakthrough-t1d-buffalo-gala-2026\\\/\",\"name\":\"Breakthrough T1D Buffalo Gala 2026 | Presented by West Herr Auto Group -
